As promised, I share with you another vegetarian recipe, quick to make and very tasty.
Why red lentils? Simply because they contain a lot of good things! Fibre, vegetable proteins, zinc, iron, phosphorus and flavonoids.
I added a seasonal vegetable: cabbage. Some people don’t like its taste, and thanks to the spices, you hardly notice it! It contains vitamin C and antioxidants.
Depending on the seasons, you can add what you want:
- zucchini (makes a little water during cooking),
- peas,
- of the carrot (be careful, however, it will be necessary to cut it finely and add cooking time),
- pepper
- …
This recipe is spicy, you can modify it according to your desires and tastes.
Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 20-25 minutes | Ready in 30 minutes
Ingredients for 4-6 persons:
- 130g coral lentils (rinsed)
- 450 ml water
- 1 can of tomato paste (140g)
- Seasonal vegetable: cabbage. I used half of it (200g), you can put the vegetables you want.
- 1 large onion
- 1 clove of garlic
- olive oil
- wraps (I found quinoa and chia wraps, it changes a bit!)
- 1 tespoon of turmeric
- 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of tandoori
- 2 drops of ginger essential oil (or fresh ginger if you have it)
- Optional: 200g smoked tofu. I added smoked almond and sesame tofu to the preparation.
Preparation:

1/ Put the olive oil and spices in a pot, then add the chopped onion and finely chopped garlic. Sauté the onion until soft.
2/ Add the tomato paste, water and lentils that you have rinsed beforehand. Mix well.
3/ Then add the finely chopped cabbage. Optional: also add smoked tofu pieces.
Simmer for 20-25 minutes with a lid, stirring occasionally to ensure that the cabbage cooks evenly. If you see that there is a little less cabbage cooking and almost no juice left, add a little water if necessary, but not too much! We don’t want a soup, the mixture must fit in the wrap!
The preparation is ready when the vegetable is cooked. All you have to do is taste it in a wrap!

Tip for those in a hurry!
If you don’t have time, try the quick version without the vegetables. The dish will be ready in 15 minutes. You can still add spinach shoots or salad to the wrap.
