  2. Blend the red lentils into a smooth flour; either using a Thermomix or a similar powerful blender
  3. Combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl
  4. Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl, season and mix well.
  5. Spoon into the prepared baking tray or muffin moulds and sprinkle the topping mix of sesame seeds and Parmesan on top.
