14132 Lentil Hummus Wrap with Pomegranate Molasses 30 mins 15 mins 4 wraps Mon Jan 26 15:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Aug 13 13:13:47 -0700 2009 Easy Middle Eastern CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/14132 Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:13:47 GMT Simple twists make for big flavor Vegetables tossed in turmeric and wrapped up with red lentil hummus. Simple twists make for big flavor in this recipe: a little spice in the roasted vegetables, lentil instead of chickpea hummus, and tangy pomegranate molasses to top everything off.

What to buy: Pomegranate molasses is a sour, syrupy liquid that adds a tart note to this recipe. It can be found in Middle Eastern markets and in the Asian section of grocery stores.

Whole-wheat lavash comes in a hard, crackerlike form or soft like a tortilla, which is what we use here. Look for lavash in the bread aisle of your grocery store.

  • Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
  • Combine potatoes, squash, oil, cumin, salt, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, and freshly ground black pepper to taste on a baking sheet and toss to evenly coat the vegetables. Spread in a single layer and roast until vegetables are soft and browned, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack.
  • Heat a large cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile take lavash and cut in half horizontally. Divide vegetables evenly among lavash pieces and dollop 3 tablespoons of hummus on top. Drizzle each wrap with 1 teaspoon of the molasses.
  • Fold the ends of the lavash into the middle, then roll burrito-style to close completely. Place a wrap in the heated skillet and toast until lavash is crispy on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and toast the second side. Repeat with remaining wraps and serve.
