Abrar's Healthy Cauliflower Wrap Recipe!


Cauliflower wrap

Ingredients:

Wrap Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower cut into florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Toppings: (these can be ANYTHING, but here are my preferences)
Lettuce/mixed greens
Olives (I LOVE them)
Mixed pickles (LOVE)
Pita bread/tortilla
Hummus (either homemade or store bought)

Homemade hummus ingredients:
1 cup of dry chickpeas soaked for 8-12 hours and cooked for about 3 hours on medium-low heat in a covered pot. (You can use canned chickpeas but I definitely recommend dry, it makes a difference in taste!)
2 tablespoons Tahini (you can buy this from a middle eastern store or the international isle of most grocery stores)
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of one lemon
1 clove of garlic (optional)
Olive oil

Method:

Preheat the oven to 400 ̊ F
Line a baking tray with parchment paper
Add oil, salt and pepper, curry powder to cauliflower florets  and mix well.
Lay in a single layer on the baking tray and put in the oven for 20 mins.
In the meantime you can make the hummus (if you are making from scratch)
Place your chickpeas in the food processor; add the tahini, salt, garlic and lemon juice. Pulse for about a minute. With the processor still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and keep drizzling until the hummus reaches the desired consistency. (Maximum add ¼ cup olive oil, if the consistency isn’t reached add water or lemon juice, depending on your taste preference)
If you want a lighter hummus you can replace the olive oil with a little more lemon juice and water.
Note: Some people remove the skin off the hummus before putting it in the food processor. If you’d like a smoother consistency go for it. But I’m super lazy and never do it! :p
Now it’s time to assemble your wrap.
I typically use pita bread but tortillas will definitely work too!
Spread the hummus on the wrap, top with cauliflower and your desired toppings.
ENJOY!!
