Mediterranean Summer Roll
Recipe makes 4 servings
Ingredients
4 rice paper wraps 8 butter lettuce leaves 3/4 cup hummus 1 large red pepper, seeds removed and sliced 2 mini cucumbers, sliced length wise 40 g feta, crumbled 1 cup alfalfa sprouts, washed well 3/4 cup tzatziki
Instructions
Prepare a plate with two damp paper towels
Fill a large shallow dish with hot water.
Submerge rice paper in hot water for 15-30 seconds. The texture of the rice paper will become more flexible and easier to mold.
Spread rice paper flat. Top with butter lettuce. Spread 3 tbsp hummus per roll evenly over lettuce, top with red pepper, cucumber, 10 g feta per roll, 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts. Roll wrap over leaving the ends open.
As you finish each roll, place them between the two damp pieces of paper towel. Once you finish all 4 rolls tuck in each of the ends. Serve each roll with 3 tbsp tzatziki as a dip.
Note: For food safety reasons sprouts need to be wash extremely well. For those who are high risk or women who are pregnant sprouts should be avoided. It is recommended that you consider cooking sprouts. If you still want the same fresh crunch try pea shoots.
