Discover a quick, healthy dinner with our Spiced Eggplant & Lentil Wraps. Packed with plant-based goodness, they're perfect for a nutritious meal.
Ingredients
- • medium eggplant: 1, diced
- • cooked lentils: 1 cup
- • whole grain tortillas: 4
- • Greek yogurt: 1/2 cup
- • fresh mint leaves: 1/4 cup, chopped
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
- • cumin powder: 1 teaspoon
- • smoked paprika: 1/2 teaspoon
- • olive oil: 1 tablespoon
- • garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- • salt: to taste
- • black pepper: to taste
Instructions
- 1 Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up briefly.
- 2 Add the diced eggplant to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Sauté for about 8 minutes until the eggplant is tender and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
- 3 Stir in the cooked lentils and minced garlic with the eggplant. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the lentils are warmed through.
- 4 While the eggplant and lentil mixture is cooking, prepare the mint yogurt sauce by combining Greek yogurt, chopped mint, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5 Warm the tortillas in a dry pan or microwave for a few seconds until pliable. Divide the eggplant and lentil mixture among the tortillas, roll them up, and serve with the mint yogurt sauce.
Serving Suggestions
- • These wraps are delightful on their own, but for an extra dose of greens, pair them with a simple mixed leaf salad tossed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Consider serving with a side of sliced cucumbers or fresh cherry tomatoes for added freshness. For a beverage, a chilled herbal tea like mint or chamomile complements the flavors beautifully.
Storage Tips
Wrap any leftover eggplant and lentil mixture tightly in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. The mint yogurt sauce can be stored separately in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to eat, reheat the eggplant mixture gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water if needed to prevent drying out.
