I love a wrap, they are very useful things, which lend themselves to a quick healthy meal, depending, what you put in them, of course. Wraps can be both sweet or savoury, hot or cold, personally I like mine, cooked on a Panini toaster, or in a dry, non stick frying pan.
Wraps are available in white, wholemeal, white & wheat ?! and multi seeded, my favourite, they also come flavoured with an assortment of different herbs & spices. You can also make your own, which I sometimes do using a mixture of Spelt & Multi grain flour. I tend not to add any flavourings as they can then be used with either sweet or savoury fillings.
Which ever variety you choose, always go for the best quality, as the cheaper brands tend to be rather tough & when toasted have the consistency of cardboard.
In the photo above, I used leftover Pork from last Sunday’s roast, thinly sliced green pepper, chopped spring onion & smoked garlic as the filling. I spread Sweet Chilli Chutney, from the marvellous Pot of What range of chutney’s & pickles over the wrap, popped the filling in the middle & folded the wrap, to completely enclose the filling.
Quickly toasted & served with a beansprout, carrot & apple salad drizzled with fresh lime juice & Sesame oil, The wrap made a substantial, healthy supper dish, which was ready in minutes, had quite a ring of a non greasy pancake roll about it.
Right cookies, get creative & make some for yourself. There are a few suggestions below, but really, your fridge holds the ingredients.
SAVOURY:
Leftover roast lamb, Feta cheese & mint, spread with tomato chutney.
Cooked sausage, grated Cheddar cheese & chopped onion, spread with mustard & mayo.
Olives, sun dried tomatoes & roasted peppers, spread with herby cream cheese.
Tuna, sweetcorn & grated cheese, spread with Mayo.
Leftover roast beef, cooked beetroot & garlic, spread with horseradish & soured cream
Serve with a salad & a dip of your choice.
SWEET:
Sliced Banana, Blueberries & a sprinkle of Lime Juice, spread with cream cheese.
Sliced Banana, Pecan nuts & chopped chocolate, spread with Nutella.
Sliced Peaches, raspberries, Spread with honey.
Crushed meringues, stale cake crumbs, strawberries, spread with lemon curd.
Chopped dates, grated Orange rind & chopped nuts, spread with cream cheese.
Give the sweet wraps a dusting of icing sugar & serve with Fromage Frais, Greek Yoghurt or to be very decadent Clotted Cream.
Have fun creating your own personal favourites. Maybe they could be a quick alternative to Pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. Who knows?
