Here's what you'll be needing:

Ingredients:

  • 50 gram of dry lentils \(after soaking\)
  • 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed
  • 6 tablespoons of water
  • 1/2 teaspoon each of paprika and garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 grated courgette/zucchini (approximately 100 grams)

Instructions:

  1. Soak the lentils in water for about 2 hours so they can expand and soften.
  2. Mix the ground flaxseed with water and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to thicken into a slightly gelatinous consistency, forming our flaxseed egg.
  3. While the flaxseed mixture is resting, grate the courgette/zucchini and keep it to the side.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and line a rectangular baking tray with parchment paper.
  5. In a food processor, blend the soaked lentils, spices, and flaxseed mixture until creamy. If required, throw in an extra tablespoon of water to aid blending.
  6. Combine the blended mixture with the grated courgette/zucchini, and then evenly spread it on the prepared baking tray.
  7. Bake for around 18-20 minutes or until the wrap is firm and somewhat golden.
  8. Allow it to cool down, and then carefully peel it off the parchment paper.
  9. Load the wrap up with your selected toppings. Recommendations include chili peppers cream, salad, avocados, and cucumber.

Tips:

  • Go wild with various spices and herbs to personalize the flavor of your lentil wrap. Think about adding cumin, chili powder, or fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an exclusive twist.
  • Never overlook the step of soaking the lentils. This helps them soften, making it simpler to blend and resulting in a smoother texture for your wrap.
  • If time isn't on your side, go for canned lentils instead of dried ones. Just be sure to rinse them thoroughly before using.
  • To fill up your wrap even more, toss in extra veggies like diced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or thinly sliced red onion.
  • Keep any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. They're ideal for speedy and nourishing lunches or snacks on the move.
