- Why does the wrap get soggy?
- You probably put the vegetables in while they were too hot and steaming, or didn't dry the rocket. Let the filling cool a little!
Grilled vegetable wrap with hummus
The secret to the perfect vegetable wrap is not to use a boiled vegetable stew, but 'bite-sized' grilled pieces. This way the wrap doesn't get soggy, and the flavour of each ingredient shines through. Fast, portable, and packed with fibre.

Instructions
1
✓
Cut the vegetables into uniform slices/strips, approx. half a centimetre thick. Deseed the pepper.
Tip: Uniform size ensures they cook at the same time.
2
✓
In a bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil and crushed garlic. Do not salt yet!
Tip: If you salt now, the vegetables will release water (osmosis) and will steam on the grill instead of roasting.
3
✓
Fry the vegetables in batches in a hot pan until they get a brownish crust (approx. 3-4 minutes/side).
Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan! The vegetables need space for the steam to escape.
4
✓
Remove the cooked vegetables into a bowl and salt them NOW. Let stand for 5 minutes.
Tip: The salt now only seasons, without ruining the texture.
5
✓
Warm the tortilla wraps, spread thickly with hummus, pile on the rocket and the grilled vegetables. Roll up tightly.
Tip: The peppery taste of the rocket balances the sweetness of the roasted vegetables.
6
✓
Optionally, place the finished roll back into the dry pan for 1 minute, seam side down, to 'seal' it.
Tip: The heat 'welds' the dough so it doesn't open while eating.
