MEDITERRANEAN LENTIL VEGGIE WRAPS

Steps:

• Cook the lentils: Rinse the lentils through a fine mesh sieve and place them in a medium saucepan. Cover with a couple inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn down heat to medium-high and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Add more water as needed. Drain and set aside.
• Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute for about 5 minutes. Add the cooked lentils, salt, pepper, chili flakes, capers, sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, and mint. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the sweet potato on one baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
• Place the broccoli and red pepper on the other baking sheet and drizzle with 1/2 tbsp of oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
• Make the lemon tahini sauce by placing all of the ingredients in an upright blender. Blend until smooth, adding additional water as desired to thin. Transfer to a glass jar or container until ready to serve.
• Finally, make the hummus. Use my Best Classic Hummus recipe, but add 1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves before blending.
• To assemble the wraps, spread some hummus on a tortilla, followed by desired amount of roasted vegetables, tahini sauce, lentils, and a handful of spinach.

• While lentils are coming to a boil, spray a baking sheet lightly with cooking oil and space pepper, eggplant halves (cut sides down), scallions, tomatoes, and wrapped garlic in a single layer. Bake until tender (40 minutes for the largest veggies).
• Once lentils are done drain them and combine them in a bowl with oil, vinegar, honey, oregano, and cumin.
• Add veggies to bowl as they become tender.
• The first done should be the green onions and the tomatoes (30 minutes).
• Next should be the garlic, cut the cloves in half and squeeze the pulp into the bowl.
• Peel the pepper, halve, seed it, chop it roughly and add it to the bowl.
• Lastly scrap the eggplant from it's skin with a fork, it should take about 40 minutes to roast. Toss everything in the dressing and scoop it into the warm tortillas. Serve with cottage or fetta cheese if desired.

• 4. Spoon on the lentil mash.

LENTIL SALAD WITH ROASTED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place vegetables in one layer on one or two large rimmed baking pans, toss with olive oil and salt. Place thyme and rosemary on top of vegetables, cover pans with foil and roast for 25 minutes. Remove foil, stir in bacon and bake for 30 to 40 minutes longer, until vegetables are tender and golden all over.
• In a large pot, combine lentils, 6 cups water, garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until lentils are tender.
• In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard and salt. Then whisk in olive oil.
• Drain lentils and discard bay leaf; keep or discard garlic as you like. Toss lentils with half of the sherry vinaigrette while still warm. Add more salt, olive oil and vinegar as needed.
• Toss radicchio with enough of remaining vinaigrette to lightly coat it and arrange it on a platter. Combine lentils and roasted vegetables, adding more of the vinaigrette to taste; spoon mixture on top of radicchio. Garnish with scallions, parsley, sea salt and black pepper. Squeeze tangerine juice over the lentils and drizzle with more olive oil if needed.

RED LENTIL WRAPS

Steps:

• Lentil filling, part 1: In a medium pot over medium heat, add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and carrots, stir, and "sweat" until soft and translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, cumin, and Maras pepper and continue cooking another 1-2 minutes. Add the lentils, stir to coat, then add 1 tablespoon oil and 2 cups water-the mixture will look like lentil soup. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until the lentils are tender and have absorbed about three-quarters of the liquid, 10 minutes.
• Tomato brown butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the tomatoes, garlic, 1 tablespoon brown butter, and salt. Stir and cook until thickened and shiny, 3-5 minutes. Blend in the saucepan using an immersion blender until smooth, with the consistency of pizza sauce.
• Lentil filling, part 2: When the lentils are soft and the mixture has thickened, add the salt and bulgur. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir again, turn off the heat, then set aside to rest 10 minutes (covered or uncovered).
• Flatbread, part 1: In a mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Using your hand, make a well in the center and pour in water and olive oil. Mix until dough forms, adding more flour if necessary, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with a little bit of oil, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator).
• Flatbread, part 2: When the dough has rested, it will look smooth and be very soft. Divide the dough in half, then divide each half into three equal pieces. Roll out each ball into a very thin 8-to-9-inch round, using more flour to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin. Heat a cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan over low heat and cook the dough on one side until it starts to bubble up and lightly brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side about 30 seconds, so the bread stays soft and pliable.
• Assembly: Put 3 tablespoons of the tomato brown butter on each flatbread and smooth it to the edges in a very thin layer. Spread a heaping scoop (about ¼ cup) of the lentil mixture on one side of the flatbread. Spread a small handful of romaine and pepperoncini (about ¼ cup) on the other side. Fold both sides over toward the middle so that you have a rectangle with the round ends of the flatbread in the middle. Press down gently to seal everything and distribute it in an even layer. Then fold the flatbread in half lengthwise so that you have a long, thin, flat wrap.
• Cook: When the wraps are assembled, heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Place two wraps at a time, seam side down, in the pan. Cook until the filling is hot and the bread is lightly toasted on one side but still soft on the other, about 4 minutes. Flip to the other side and cook 1 minute more to heat through. Cut into halves or strips and serve immediately with additional tomato brown butter.

SPICY ROAST VEG & LENTILS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Using a sharp knife, peel the butternut squash. Cut it in half lengthways, scoop out the seeds, then cut into 1cm-thick slices widthways across the squash.
• Put the squash slices in a large roasting tin with the onion, peppers and garlic. Mix the oil with the curry paste and drizzle over the vegetables. Toss well to coat in the curry mix and season.
• Roast for 30 mins until the vegetables are beginning to soften. Add the lentils and stock to the roasting tin and mix. Return to the oven for a further 5-10 mins until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the coriander and serve straight away.
