The idea behind these wraps is to show you different combinations from recipes throughout the book either as a salad or as a wrap without the bread. But it’s all about preparation; if you have already made some of the recipes below then you can use any leftovers to throw together a quick and easy on-the-go lunch. Throughout the book there are loads of side dishes, dressings and salads that can all become wonderfully tasty combinations. Here are a few to get you started but have a go and be creative… it’s time to put your chef’s hat on.

Step 1 – Start with a pulse or a grain. (Cook according to packet instructions.)

Puy lentils

Red rice

Quinoa

Brown rice

Step 2 – Add a cooked or roasted vegetable.

Step 3 – Add something raw.

Grated carrot

Grated courgette (zucchini)

Kale massaged with a little lemon juice

Chopped cabbage

Spinach

Step 4 – Add chopped herbs.

Parsley

Coriander (cilantro)

Chervil

Dill

Step 5 – Add a dressing or a dip

(choose from those on page 82).

Step 6 – Sprinkle with nuts or seeds:

You could add tofu, too, if you like.

Step 7 – Mix it all together.
Either pile your mix on top of a bed of fresh leaves or use as a filling for a wrap made of lightly steamed chard leaves or large iceberg lettuce leaves.

TASH’S TIPS

Three of my favourite combinations are:

1 Red rice, aubergine (eggplant) with cinnamon, grated carrot, parsley with Tahini Dressing (see page 82) and pumpkin seeds.

2 Puy lentils, roasted butternut squash, kale, dill, smoked tofu and minty yogurt dressing.

3 Quinoa, roasted rainbow carrots, spinach, chervil, sesame seeds and sweet chilli sauce.
