One of the fun things about working my
way through these recipes is finding myself closing in on certain sections of
the book. For instance, in the Sandwiches, Pizza, &
More chapter, there is a sub-section of 20 recipes called Sandwiches & Wraps. I realized as I made the
"Deconstructed Hummus Pitas" (page 116), I had nearly wrapped this
section up. There are now only 3 recipes left to try here, although some of
them have already become regulars around my house (have I mentioned before how
much both my husband and I enjoy sandwiches, at any meal?). The idea behind these
wraps is to create the flavor of hummus but leave in some texture; to this end,
the chickpeas are mashed with a fork rather than puréed in a food processor,
then mixed with all the usual hummus ingredients: garlic, tahini, and lemon
juice. Grated carrots are a surprise addition, adding even more texture, as
well as a splash of color. This delicious filling is then spooned into whole
wheat pita bread along with fresh sliced tomatoes and spinach leaves. If you are a
hummus fan, you will definitely love these wraps!
