October is Vegetarian Awareness Month. I will acknowledge this by posting a vegetarian dish or restaurant experience every day until November 1st (which begins World Vegan Month). I am going to start with a simple lunch I call the 10 minute wrap. This is a hummus and vegetable filled wrap which is both nutritious and filling. I usually make it when pressed for time but want a healthy and tasty lunch. Although it takes about 10 minutes to grill the vegetables and assemble the wrap its more like a 15 minute wrap when you include washing all of the produce and cleaning up afterwards. This is a very flexible wrap and many different combinations of vegetables, spreads and seasonings can be used. I decided to use this combination because kale is in season here in the Northeast and I found some tender baby kale at the market which is great for eating raw.
Ingredients:
Whole wheat wrap
1Avocado
1 Carrot
1 Zucchini
2 cups of fresh kale
homemade or store bought hummus
flaxseed oil
pickled peppers
Ingredients
 |
| Sliced vegetables |
------------------->
Cook in a skillet lightly coated with olive oil until golden brown. Add salt, pepper, or any seasoning you like
Let vegetables cool a bit while you spread the hummus on the wrap
Start building your wrap layer by layer
The final touch is a large handful of baby kale and a sprinkle of flaxseed oil
ENJOY!
