The Oscar




The Oscar

I got home early today from work and decided to make myself a late lunch. Feeling grouchy and lazy I decided to make something easy. Only using whatever I could find I created The Oscar. The vegetarian “garbage” wrap but it’s healthy. It’s named after Oscar the Grouch. Get it I was grouchy and whatever I could find in the kitchen.

The Oscar consist of a whole wheat wrap or flat bread smothered with hummus. I then cut up some avocado and lettuce and sprinkle it onto the bread and hummus. HERE is the tricky part I cut up some peppers and mushrooms and sauteed them in olive oil. After cooking I laid them on top of the bread and well that’s a wrap folks! Ha no pun intended.

The Oscar



Whole Wheat flat bread/wrap
Lettuce
Peppers (Sweet Peppers)
Avocado
Hummus
Lettuce/Spinach
Mushrooms
Olive Oil
Hummus
I usually make my own hummus but you can buy it from the store as well. Here is my hummus recipe.
1 garlic clove
1 (19 oz) can garbanzo beans
1 Lemon
1/4 cup Olive Oil


Chop or mince the garlic clove, drain the garbanzo beans, squeeze the lemon ha. Then add everything to a food processor. PRESS the button and yum HUMMUS!. Easy huh. You can also add salt and pepper or even 1 teaspoon of cumin if you’re feeling froggy.

Warm Wishes,

Jessica
