spinach wraps
- 120g baby spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons natural Greek-style (thick) yoghurt
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- ⅓ cup (40g) linseed (flaxseed) meal+
- ⅔ cup (150g) wholemeal spelt flour
- To make the spinach wraps, place the spinach in a large bowl, cover with boiling water and allow to stand for 1 minute. Drain, squeezing out any excess water. Place the spinach, yoghurt, salt and pepper in a small food processor and process until smooth. Place the mixture in a large bowl. Add the linseed meal and flour and mix to combine.
- Turn out the mixture onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll out each piece between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper to 20cm rounds. Heat a large frying pan over low heat and cook each wrap for 1 minute on each side.
- To serve, spread 2 tablespoons of the baba ghanoush over each wrap, top with spinach leaves, carrot, beetroot, cucumber, onion and mint.
- Fold to enclose and serve with lemon wedges. Makes 4.
