Notes

-*To make this without sprouting the lentils: Soak the lentils for 8–12 hours (or overnight). This step is optional, but it helps make them easier to digest. Drain and rinse, then bring the lentils to a boil and simmer for about 20–25 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Drain, rinse briefly with cold water, and dry well. Add the cooked lentils to a food processor and blend with the remaining ingredients.
