Vegetarian Wraps Recipe - Directions And Ingredients To Make The Best Vegetarian Wraps

Author: Heather Nauta

This vegetarian wraps recipe is so easy to make, you'll wonder why you've never made it before. You can use any bean, but I used aduki, or adzuki, beans that are small and reddish-brown. They are one of the fastest beans to cook, making them one of my favorites for quick and healthy vegan recipes.

The advantages of beans are that they're low in fat, high in protein and loaded with fiber. Gram for gram, they're a much more economical source of protein than meat. Topping off the wrap, sprouts (like alfalfa or clover) are one of the foods most packed with nutrient, and putting them in a wrap is a delicious way to eat a big portion of them.

This vegetarian wraps recipe makes enough for 6 large wraps.

 

Vegetarian Wraps Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned or cooked aduki beans (or another bean)
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • Flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • half of a sweet onion, sliced
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cucumber, sliced with skin
  • 1 cup sprouts (alfalfa, clover, broccoli, etc)
  • 6 wraps

 

Vegetarian Wraps Recipe Directions

  1. Dried aduki beans, if you're using them, need to be fully cooked before you start. Soak half a cup of the dry beans overnight with lots of water. Drain them, add 2 cups of water, bring to a boil and simmer for an hour. Do not use salt during the cooking process. Putting a piece of kombu (seaweed) in the water while the beans cook will help make the beans more easily digested.
  2. Using canned aduki beans is less work, but be sure to look for beans that do not have any salt. Some brands actually cook the beans with kombu, which is ideal.
  3. Mix the olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice together, and you can add any herbs or spices you like, but be sure to add a pinch of salt. If you are using a vinaigrette from the store, make sure there's salt in the ingredients. If not, add some! Since the beans are not cooked with any salt, they need a bit after cooking.
  4. Pour the vinaigrette over the cooked beans in a small bowl. Chop some parsley, then stir it into the beans. The beans will appreciate marinating for at least an hour, but they only get better the longer you leave them.
  5. To get dinner together once the beans are flavored, heat a small pan to medium. Sauté the onions briefly in a small amount of olive oil, to soften their flavor. Feel free to can skip this step if you prefer your onions raw.
  6. There are a few ways to heat up your wraps: toaster oven, full-size oven, or heat briefly in the pan you used for the onions. Arrange some beans, vegetables and sprouts in the middle of the wrap, fold one end in, roll and enjoy your vegetarian wraps recipe!

An Alternative To Gelatin For Vegetarians Author: Jesus Smay Gelatin serves both nutritional and culinary roles in nonvegetarian diets; however, a lot of vegetarians and all vegans do not consume gelatin in its many forms because it is often created out of boiled pig skins and dissolved veal cartilage and bones. This leaves vegetarians with a gap in cooking functionality when a recipe calls for a gel or thickening agent. It also leaves vegetarians with fewer options if they need a source of gelatin to increase bone and cartilage health. If you are a vegetarian and you are looking for something to replace gelatin, do not despair. Here are some alternative options for you: Use a rice starch alternative. A&B Ingredients recently developed a rice starch alternative to gelatins that mimics the cooking functionality of gelatins closely. Use a soy-based alternative. Soyfoods USA developed NuSoy Gel, a gelatin alternative which was created entirely out of of soy isoflavones a

Healthy Vegan Banana Bread Recipe

Healthy Vegan Banana Bread Recipe Author: Matthew Kaplan Now that the weather is getting to be a bit cooler, I have a strong urge to be busting out my baking supplies and warming up the oven. I mean, who doesn't love the smell of delicious baked goods wafting throughout the house. For me, the quintessential baked good is banana bread. My mother would save loads of overripe bananas in our freezer, waiting to defrost them to make her delicious easy banana bread recipe. Just thinking of her moist banana bread recipe makes me salivate a little bit. However, I have found two main issues with her original recipe: 1) Like most traditional baked goods, it's far from a low-cal option. 2) It's definitely not vegan -friendly. With a few twists, I remade my mother's traditional moist banana bread recipe so that it's not only a healthy banana bread recipe, but a vegan banana bread recipe too!
