Grilled aubergine wrap

Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Quick Meals
This isn't a shop-bought, pre-packaged sandwich. Here, hot, smoky aubergine slices meet cool, creamy hummus. The secret lies in prepping the aubergine: if done right, the vegetable flesh becomes butter-soft, not a chewy piece of rubber.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Griddle pan
  • Kitchen paper
  • Wide-bladed knife
  • Microwave or dry frying pan (for warming wraps)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Sesame (hummus)
⚠️ Gluten (tortilla)

Instructions

1 ✓

Cut aubergine into 0.5cm rounds. Salt and let stand for 10 minutes, then blot moisture with kitchen paper.

Tip: Salting breaks down cell walls and removes water, so the aubergine becomes creamier and absorbs less oil (texture improvement).
2 ✓

Crush garlic and mix with olive oil, pepper, and paprika flakes. Lightly brush aubergine rounds with this spiced oil.

Tip: Oil transfers heat to the vegetable. Mixing spices into oil helps flavours dissolve better (fat-soluble flavours).
3 ✓

Cook aubergine in a hot griddle pan for 2-3 minutes per side until dark grill lines appear and it softens.

Tip: Don't keep moving it! Let the hot metal caramelise the surface (Maillard reaction).
4 ✓

Prepare filling: cut tomatoes and cucumber into thin strips (julienne).

Tip: Vegetable strips conform better to the roll than cubes, so the wrap won't tear.
5 ✓

Warm tortilla wraps in a dry frying pan for 10 seconds per side until pliable.

Tip: Heat softens the fat and starch in the dough, restoring flexibility.
6 ✓

Spread wraps with hummus, pile on vegetables and aubergine. Fold up the bottom, then roll tightly.

Tip: Hummus acts as glue here, holding the wrap together.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the tortilla break when rolling?
Because it's dried out or cold. Definitely warm it up before rolling so the starch structure relaxes and becomes pliable.
What if the aubergine is too oily?
Aubergine is like a sponge. Just brush with oil right before cooking, don't soak it!
