union square farmers market soul wrap

On our adventure to New York City, George and I visited the Union Square Farmers Market and sampled apples, Manchago cheese and the vegan Sol wrap.  It was so delicious George decided to come home and figure out how to recreate  it.  While I was busy editing photos, I enjoyed the smell of his cooking in the kitchen.  I always treasure anything George makes because the main ingredient is love.

As we travel, we look forward to bringing you tasty recipes from the different regions of the country and wrap it up into a colorful cook book!  Our food and personalities are shaped by our environment and culture.  

Soul Wrap

Food is more than just nutrition, we eat to satisfy our souls. I love when I eat something I have never eaten before and then going home and recreating  it in my own creative  way.  This is a vegetarian  wrap made with lentils and a gluten free brown rice tortilla.

Ingredients list:

1 cup veggie stock

2 cups water

1 cup split lentils

1 diced onion

2 minced cloves garlic

1 third of a cup of chopped walnuts

2 diced or grated carrots

2 cups baby spinach

4 leaves of fresh sage

2 pinches of Italian seasoning

3 tbsp white wine

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp Braggs or soy sauce

2 tbsp balsamic vinegar

salt and pepper to taste

First add the lentils and the veggie stock and water  to the pot and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for twenty minutes.  Remove the lentils from the pot and add half the olive oil,  a teaspoon of Braggs and the balsamic vinegar to the lentils in a bowl stir and set to the side. Put the rest of the olive oil in the pan with the onion and sauté until translucent.  Then add the sage and garlic,  let the aroma start to intoxicate your senses then add the white wine and cook out the alcohol.  Add the rinsed spinach, carrots and Italian seasoning and turn off the pot and let the residual heat cook them through. Add a touch of salt and pepper and it’s done. Mix together the lentils and the veggies and you have your lentil mixture. Heat the tortillas and stuff with the lentil goodness and wrap.  Serve with a fresh side salad and you have a perfect meal. 

Love~
