Instructions
Put the lentils and water in a pot on the stove. Heat to boiling, then simmer until the lentils are tender. This takes about 30 minutes.
While the lentils are cooking, make the crepes.
If you are using fresh greens, stir them into the lentils toward the end of the cooking time.
Once the lentils are cooked, add all of the other filling ingredients and stir.
As the crepes get cooked, put two heaping dinnertablespoons of filling in each one, in a line, and roll up the crepe around it. You can put them directly onto people's dinnerplates.
Now make the sauce: Put the cornstarch or flour into a pot (you can re-use a pot from the crepes or the lentils without washing it out) and add the oil. Stir. If you are using real flour, heat and stir the mixture until it is bubbly; if you are using cornstarch skip this step.
Add the milk-of-choice and any optional broth that you are using. Heat on medium-high while stirring until it boils, then lower the heat to low. Simmer and stir for one minute. Turn off the heat. Stir in the herbs and tamari and/or salt. Check for saltiness and add more salt or tamari if needed.
Pour sauce over crepes and serve. A serving is about four crepes.
