Ingredients

  • 6 Medium Red Bell Peppers
  • ½ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ Cup Red Lentils
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • ¼ Teaspoon Crushed Garlic
  • 2 Teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Scallion
  • 2 Tablespoons Flat-Leaf Parsley
  • ¼ Cup Tahini
  • 2 Teaspoons Lemon Juice
  • ⅛ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 6 Lavash Sheets Approximately 9x12-Inch
  • 2 Cups Shredded Cabbage

Instructions

  • Process bell peppers, chili pepper, and salt. Pour puree into a pan on low
  • Simmer, stirring regularly, until the mixture thickens into a paste. It might take two hours
  • Wait for it to cool before using
  • Cover the paste with olive oil and refrigerate in a jar
  • Add lentils and 2 cups of water to a small saucepan over medium-low heat
  • This makes lentil filling. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover
  • After around 20 minutes, the lentils should be tender
  • Take it off the heat and add the bulgur
  • Soak bulgur in water for 30 minutes until soft
  • Also, heat olive oil in a pan on medium
  • Simmer onions until soft and clear, stirring often
  • Cook for an additional minute after adding the cumin and red pepper flakes
  • Mix bulgur, lentils, onions, shallots, parsley, and salt
  • Mix everything well. Make wraps after it cools
  • You can use a food processor to smooth out the filling and make it more like the Trader Joe's version, but I prefer it as is
  • The filling can be frozen in an airtight jar if not used immediately
  • Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl with 2/3 cup warm water to make the tahini dipping sauce
  • Mix ingredients well with a fork
  • Add modest amounts of warm water at a time, stirring until the required consistency is achieved
  • Fold the lavash sheet in half with the shorter end facing you to make wraps
  • Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons red pepper paste on the bottom third
  • The lentil-bulgur mixture goes on top, then cabbage
  • Help the wrap seal by spreading 1/2 tablespoon of red pepper paste on top
  • Then, roll it up from the bottom up. Do this for the remaining wraps
  • Half each wrap and serve with tahini sauce
