Method

Fermented batter
1
  • Soak the rice and lentils in two separate bowls covered in filtered water, leave over night.
  • The next day drain both the rice and lentils and wash thoroughly, then add to a high powered blender and blend with 75-125ml filtered water.
  • Pour the smooth batter into a large clean jar and cover with a cloth fastened with an elastic band. Leave to ferment for a further 12 hours. It is ready to use when the mature starts to aerate and you can see bubbles forming.
  • The temperature of your surroundings will affect the time of this process, make sure the mixture doesn’t get too hot as it may spill out of the jar and if its too cold the process will take a lot longer.
  • Start the next steps when the better is ready.
Green Beans
1

Heat a frying pan with the oil and add the beans and onions with a pinch of salt, cook for 3-4 minutes adding a splash of water at the end to make sure the beans are cooked al dente.

To serve

  • Season the batter with the spices and add the protein powder.
