Buckwheat, Chickpea & Sweet Potato Jamaican Jerk Wrap (or Salad) Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Mom_s

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sprouted grain tortillas (or collard greens raw or steamed or gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe GF)
Mixed greens
Fresh lentil sprouts (optional)
1-2 tbsp clean gluten-free jerk seasoning from a jar (not a dry rub)*
Creamy Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Ranch Dressing (homemade is best)
2 cups cooked chickpeas (try your best to soak them overnight and prepare them yourself instead of eating the aluminum-soaked ones)
1 1/2 cups cooked buckwheat
2 cups sweet potato, diced and steamed
3-4 large kale leaves, chopped and steamed for 2 minutes, until they wilt.

Steps:

  • Prepare sprouted buckwheat and chickpeas for this recipe and then cook them. Place together in a large glass bowl when done. Diced sweet potato and steam for 15-20 minutes until soft, a fork should go in easily, but not so much that they are mushy. Once cooked, toss in the bowl with your buckwheat and chickpeas. Add the chopped kale to the steamer for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add your steamed kale. Stir well. Now, stir in the jerk seasoning. Start with less and slowly add more as you go, and remember that the ranch dressing is very cooling when paired with the spice. Lightly steam a sprouted grain tortilla for about 2-5 minutes and lay flat on a large plate. Spoon in some of your jerk veggies and legumes. Add some lentil sprouts and mixed greens. Top with Creamy Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Ranch Dressing and wrap it up!

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup green lentils, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 medium onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrot, (7-1/2")s carrots, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons salt-free seasoning blend
1 teaspoon chopped fresh marjoram leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

1 egg
1 cup buckwheat groats
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Stir in lentils, reduce heat to low and simmer until lentils are tender but firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain, but reserve liquid. Transfer lentils to a large bowl.
  • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a skillet. Cook onions until they are soft and translucent about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add celery, carrots, and garlic and continue cooking until carrots are just tender, about 10 minutes. Stir vegetables into lentils. Mix in the seasoning blend, marjoram, thyme, lemon thyme, cumin, crushed red pepper, and cardamom. Set aside.
  • Whisk egg in a bowl; add the buckwheat and stir until well coated with egg.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add buckwheat and egg mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until buckwheat has absorbed the egg and appears dry, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 cups of the reserved lentil liquid and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat to low and simmer until liquid is absorbed and buckwheat is soft but maintains its shape and texture, 15 to 25 minutes.
  • Mix buckwheat into lentil mixture. Season with salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and vinegar. Stir and adjust seasonings. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your salad will taste. Look for crisp buckwheat, tender vegetables, and flavorful herbs.
  • Cook the buckwheat properly: Buckwheat should be cooked until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked buckwheat will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Let the buckwheat cool before assembling the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more colorful and flavorful your salad will be. Some good options include cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, and zucchini.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your salad. Some good options include basil, cilantro, dill, mint, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Buckwheat salad is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to make it ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

Buckwheat salad is a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It is packed with nutrients, including protein, fiber, and antioxidants. Buckwheat salad is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and iron. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy buckwheat, give this salad a try.
