Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown lentils
- 3 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Tortilla wraps
- 1 cup Spinach leaves
- 1 piece Carrot, grated
- 0.5 cup Hummus
Instructions
Rinse the lentils thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the lentils and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
Drain any excess water from the lentils and set them aside to cool slightly.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked lentils to the skillet, along with lemon juice, salt, and chopped parsley. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
Lay one tortilla wrap on a flat surface. Spread a thin layer of hummus over the entire surface of the tortilla.
Layer spinach leaves, a portion of the grated carrot, and a scoop of the lentil mixture evenly on top of the hummus.
Carefully roll up the tortilla tightly. Use a sharp knife to trim the ends and slice the roll-up into 4-5 bite-sized pieces. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
Arrange the lentil roll-up pieces on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
