Welcome and good luck with it :wavey:. This is simply the best thread my hubby also on SW went through this the other night I call it the Food Porn thread!:sign0007:

Thanks Jo!! Been reading through lots of the posts and they are so helpful! I'm looking forward to trying out lots of new food and making some new friends who can keep me on the straight and narrow

PLUS i work in a male dominated environment and on the road where we work there is a pizza hut, KFC AND a Mcdonalds so the ideas for lunch that are filling and that can be made the day before/morning are a MUST, lets say the guys I work with aren't exactly the most supportive

BUT I will succeed!!

OMG just had an absolute MARE with mung bean wraps. . . . well actuallly I have a LACK of them.

Soaked them overnight as the recipe suggests. . . but they were still hard, thought to myself "oooh ill use my hand blender to make them into the paste.." went to do it and blummin' beans went flying everywhere, just got changed out my PJ's and about 20 fell out hahahaha.

Please can someone help me out. . . do you have to soak them at a specific temperature or in hot water?

I'm sure I should be blonde *rolls eyes*

Moong bean Wraps..............


Pete’s Mung Bean Wraps

Ingredients

200g/Cup of Mung/Moong Beans
Makes about 8 wraps
Salt
Method

Soak the beans in cold water for between 12 -24 hrs. Depending whether they are split beans or whole, changing the water at regular intervals, removing any hardened beans.
When ready grind them using a food processer and a small amount of water, adding salt, until you have a mixture similar to a pancake mix but slightly thicker.
Heat a frying pan sprayed with Fry Light until its hot then ladle the mix and smooth out using the base of the ladle to form a thin coating, cook for 3-4 mins and flip over and cook until the other side is done. Use for wraps while still slightly warm to ensure easy folding.

They look really nice Pete. Did they taste as good as they look?

 

[*Tara*]

OOF Pete they look delish, wraps are my preferred choice over bread anyway (apart from a nice boiled egg sarnie) and I reaaaaaaaaaally hope mine work. Might have to buy a food processor with the rest of my birthday money. . . .eek!

Thanks again for all your help

 

[Joanne24]

I love the wraps, they are kinda nutty tasting. When you put the filling in them you dont really taste it x

 

[*Tara*]

I'm so hoping this time they work, i'm kind of excited to try them yet scared of attack of the mung beans again hahaaha.

 

[Joanne24]

If you stick them in a blender they won't 'fire' at you haha. Remember to put some salt in them when your whizzing x
