Gluten-Free Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

October 25, 2021 by Trish Hall Leave a Comment

 

These Gluten-Free Chickpea Lettuce Wraps are packed full of veggies! The filling can be made into a delicious wrap, dip, or sandwich.

Chickpea Veggie Dip or Filling

I created this filling after a busy day that I hadn’t prepared well for. I found myself out running errands during lunchtime and grabbed a wrap from Trader Joe’s. Theirs were wrapped in a lavash which wasn’t the best choice for me because I am sensitive to gluten. It doesn’t make me sick, but I do get bloated and uncomfortable when I eat gluten. So, I peeled off most of the lavash and ate the filling. The filling was good, but I thought it was way too light on the veggies so I put a lot more in mine.

If you don’t need step-by-step instructions and pictures, scroll down to the recipe card below. If you like to see the size and textures of each veggie as I added it, then stick with me here.

Gather your ingredients.

Gluten Free Chickpea Lettuce Wraps

I used homemade hummus, but you could use store-bought.

To make the hummus I used one can (about 1.5 cups) of cooked chickpeas. I didn’t peel them, but you could if you like ultra-smooth hummus. I blended them with lemon juice, tahini, cumin, and garlic. If you want to make it lower fat, you can replace the tahini with white beans. I used my Cuisinart 13 cup food processor with the small bowl insert. This keeps the ingredients contained near the blade. It got really smooth.

Once you have the hummus made, set it aside.

Add the carrot to the food processor and pulse until you have little tiny carrot bits. Add the carrots to a large bowl. Pulse the broccoli to the same size. Do the same with the radish, parsley, cilantro, and green onions.

Add the hummus.

Stir and add your favorite salt-free seasoning (or salt if you use it).

You can use this as is, for a dip or a wrap, or you can add another can of chickpeas that you have pulsed. This gives a thicker consistency that is good as a sandwich spread.

Instructions
For the hummus (if not using store bought)
  1. In a small food processor bowl, add all the ingredients, except the reserved aquafaba

  2. Pulse until everything starts to mix well.

  3. Slowly add aquafaba and blend on high until you get the consistency that you want.

  4. You will need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times. Blend until very smooth.

  5. Set aside.

For the rest:
  1. Add the carrots to the food processor and pulse until they are about rice-sized. Add them to a large mixing bowl.

  2. Do the same to the broccoli. Add to the mixing bowl.

  3. Add the cilantro, parsley, green onions, and radishes. Pulse until rice-sized. Add to the mixing bowl.

  4. Add the cabbage to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to the mixing bowl.

  5. If you want the thicker version of this filling, pulse the other can of chickpeas until they are broken down into rice-sized pieces. Add this to the mixing bowl.

  6. Add the hummus to the mixing bowl on top of the chopped veggies and mix well.

  7. Add salt or salt-free seasoning, if using.

  8. Scoop onto lettuce leaves, or use as a dip with crackers or celery sticks. If you've made the thicker version, spread it onto bread and make a sandwich!

Oil-Free Gluten-Free Crackers

It is a bit of a challenge to find oil-free crackers in the store, and when you add in the need for them to be gluten-free it begins to feel like looking for a unicorn, doesn’t it? So this prompted me to begin experimenting with cracker recipes.

 These delicious gluten-free, oil-free, Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies are perfect for sharing, so make a double batch!

Vegan Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

 

Sometimes you just need a little sweet treat. At least, I do. One of the best things that happened to me when I lost that extra 30 lbs (that I had carried around my entire adult life) by eating a whole-food, plant-based, oil-free diet is that now I can occasionally indulge in a little high fat, high-calorie food without gaining any weight. Yep! My metabolism became extremely efficient and it is easy to maintain my weight. It still blows my mind.

Vegan Oil-Free Oatmeal Trail Cookies

November 30, 2018 by Trish Hall Leave a Comment

These packable, shareable, delicious Vegan Oil-Free Oatmeal Trail Cookies are perfect for that afternoon tea break and for any other cookie eating occasion.

Vegan Oil-Free Oatmeal Trail Cookies

 

I should have added a book to that photo and then it would have been a true depiction of one of my favorite ways to take an afternoon break.  You can’t tell, but between that last sentence and this one, there was an hour pause while I sat down with a cup of tea and a cookie and my book. Ahhh…I’m ready to get back to work.

This recipe is one that was created because I used to love a “Cowboy Cookie” back in my non-vegan oily days.

I found this info about where that name came from:

“Cowboy Cookies are said to be a cookie that cowboys on the trail enjoyed. They were considered the first power bar. They were a quick and easy way to get nutrients for the long travels that cowboys made. They also kept well.”

Other sites claim they were called Trail Cookies. Either way, this is a version that I can feel pretty good about indulging in.

Omega Bites

November 11, 2018 by Trish Hall 2 Comments

Omega Bites

These little Omega Bites are a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids and are a tasty little snack. Great for packing in kid’s lunch boxes too. 

Getting enough protein on a plant-based diet is not something I worry about. As long as we eat enough calories of whole plant foods, we will get enough protein, fiber and all the other components of a healthy diet. Adding in small quantities of nuts and seeds will help us get the Omega-3’s that we need. If you are still reducing your weight or dealing with heart health issues, you will want to limit yourself to one or two of these a week. They are a high-fat food. …
