Instructions
Spicy Lentil Wrap:
- Combine lentils and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until lentils are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Turn off heat and stir in bulgur. Let stand until water is absorbed and bulgur is soft, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent. Stir in cumin and red pepper flakes and cook for another minute.
- Add onions, scallions, parsley and salt to lentil-bulgur mixture and stir until well combined. Let cool before using to make wraps. If desired, blend mixture in a food processor to make it smoother.
- Lay out a lavash sheet with the shorter end closest to you. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of red pepper paste across the lower third of the sheet. Top with the lentil-bulgur mixture, and then the cabbage. Roll from the bottom up, and spread an additional 1/2 tablespoon of red pepper paste across the top end to help seal the wrap. Repeat for remaining wraps.
- To serve, cut each wrap in half and serve with tahini sauce on the side.
- Combine bell peppers, cayenne pepper and salt in a food processor and puree.
- Pour the puree into a skillet over low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to a paste. This can take up to 2 hours.
- Place all ingredients in a small bowl and mix with a fork until well combined.
- Gradually stir in small amounts of additional warm water until the desired consistency is achieved.
