Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of lavash bread
  • 1/2 cup tomato jam (or substitute with raw or sun-dried tomatoes)
  • 6 ounces arugula (or greens of choice)
  • 1/2 cup tofu feta cheese
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives, diced
  • 1/2 cup pickled red onions or raw red onions
  • 1/2 cup hummus (preferably oil-free hummus)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lavash Wraps: Lay each lavash piece flat on a clean surface to make assembly easier and prevent tearing.
  2. Spread Tomato Jam: On the far left side of each lavash, evenly spread 1/4 of the tomato jam to create a flavorful base.
  3. Add Arugula: Place 1/4 of the arugula in a vertical column next to the tomato jam, layering fresh greens.
  4. Include Tofu Feta Cheese: Add 1/4 of the tofu feta cheese on top of the arugula for a creamy, tangy flavor.
  5. Layer Cucumbers: Arrange thinly sliced cucumbers in a slightly overlapping row beside the tofu feta to add crunch.
  6. Add Kalamata Olives and Pickled Onions: Sprinkle a thin row of diced kalamata olives, followed by pickled red onions for a salty, tangy bite.
  7. Spread Hummus: On the opposite end of the lavash from the tomato jam, spread 1/4 of the hummus evenly to balance flavors.
  8. Roll the Wraps: Roll each lavash tightly from left to right, ensuring the fillings stay securely inside for easy eating.
  9. Enjoy Cold or Heated: Serve the wraps cold immediately or proceed to toast using a panini maker or skillet for a warm sandwich.
  10. Panini Maker Prep: Preheat your panini maker to medium heat.
  11. Grill the Wraps: Place two rolled lavash wraps side-by-side on the grill and close the lid to cook both sides simultaneously.
  12. Cook Time: Grill for about 10 minutes or until the lavash bread becomes crispy and golden.
  13. Skillet Preparation: Turn stove to low heat—gas stoves may be hotter than electric ones.
  14. Toast in Skillet: Place rolled sandwiches side-by-side in a non-stick skillet without oil.
  15. Rotate Sandwiches: Turn sandwiches every five minutes to achieve even toasting on all sides without burning.
  16. No Oil Needed: The sandwich crisps up nicely without added oil, making it a healthier option.

Notes

  • This sandwich is versatile; try swapping arugula with spinach or mixed greens for variety.
  • Tomato jam can be replaced with fresh or sun-dried tomatoes if preferred.
  • Tofu feta can be homemade or store-bought; it adds a tangy, creamy texture without dairy.
  • Pickled red onions add brightness, but raw onions can be used for a milder flavor.
  • Use oil-free hummus to keep this sandwich light and healthy.
  • Heating the sandwich is optional; the sandwich is equally tasty cold if you want a quick meal.
  • When toasting in a skillet, a non-stick pan prevents sticking and helps crisp up the bread evenly.
