To put it simply I really-really love wraps. They make a perfect food for picnic, garden party or just something to put in your lunchbox. In addition to being so universal you can basically wrap up anything you have in the fridge at the moment, so the possibilities are endless. They are filling, can be made healthy and in addition to all that they are great for having kids eating vegetables - I remember that I never unwrapped my wrap in order to eliminate the tomatoes, lettuce and cucumber that was in there. Incredibly easy to make, do not make a mess out of the kitchen and can be eaten every time of the day, hot or cold, with a sauce or a side dish or without. So, to put it shortly, wraps are probably the easiest universal foods out there and here are just a few examples of the many possibilities. Feel free to skip or substitute an ingredient and play around with different combinations.
(Makes 2)
- 2 wholegrain tortillas
- 100g smoked salmon
- 80g cream cheese
- 2 large iceberg lettuce leaves
- 2 tsp baby capers
- Pepper, to serve
Place the tortillas on a plate and spread one side with the cheese spread. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves and place on top of cream cheese. Then divide the salmon evenly between two tortillas, place a spoonful of capers on top and sprinkle with some fresh pepper (or squeeze lemon juice). Then roll the wraps up and either eat immediately or wrap in a cling film and keep refrigerated until serving.
(Makes 4)
- 4 wholegrain tortillas
- 200g smoked turkey breast
- 4 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 60g baby spinach
- 60g bean sprouts
Place the tortillas on a plate and cover each with 1 tbsp of cranberry jam. Then slice the turkey breast into thin strips and divide it up between the tortillas. Top each tortilla off with baby spinach leaves and bean sprouts. Roll them up and enjoy either straight away or wrap in some cling film and keep refrigerated until serving.
