  • Lime wedges for serving optional
  • Chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) for garnish optional

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Rinse the lentils under cold water and drain. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute.
  3. Stir in the curry powder and ground cumin, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the rinsed lentils and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the lentils are tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Take off heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  6. While the lentils are resting, prepare your lettuce leaves and arugula. Lay a lettuce leaf flat and spoon some of the lentil mixture on it. Top with arugula.
  7. Wrap the lettuce leaf around the filling and secure, if needed, with toothpicks.
  8. Repeat with remaining lettuce leaves and filling. Serve with a side salad and lime wedges on the side.

Notes

For those looking to switch things up, consider using different types of legumes like chickpeas or black beans instead of lentils.
You can also spice it up with some diced chilies for extra heat!
If you have leftover wraps, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheating on a skillet over medium heat can help maintain the wrap's texture.
Enjoy your culinary creativity!
