Rezept-Fragen & Antworten
- → Kann ich die schwarzen Augenbocken durch andere Hülsenfrüchte ersetzen?
Ja, Kichererbsen, schwarze Bohnen oder Kidneybohnen funktionieren hervorragend als Alternative. Achte darauf, dass sie gut abgetropft sind, bevor du sie verwendest.
- → Wie lassen sich die Wraps am besten aufbewahren?
Wickle jeden Wrap fest in Frischhaltefolie oder Pergamentpapier und lagere sie bis zu 2 Tage im Kühlschrank. Für längerfristige Lagerung friere die ungekochten Zutaten separat ein.
- → Ist die Tahini-Sauce vorzubereiten?
Absolut. Die Sauce hält sich bis zu einer Woche verschlossen im Kühlschrank. Rühre sie vor dem Servieren gut durch, da sich das Tahini am Boden absetzen kann.
- → Wie mache ich diese Wraps glutenfrei?
Ersetze die Whole-Wheat-Tortillas durch glutenfreie Tortillas aus Mais oder Reis. Verwende Tamari anstelle von Sojasauce, falls du welche hinzufügst.
- → Welche Getränke passen gut dazu?
Ein frischer, kräuteriger Weißwein wie Sauvignon Blanc oder ein eiskalter Zitronentee ergänzen die kräftigen Aromen hervorragend. Auch ein spritziges Mineralwasser mit Zitrone passt perfekt.
- → Kann ich die Wraps erwärmen servieren?
Ja, erwärme die gefüllten Wraps 1-2 Minuten in einer Pfanne bei mittlerer Hitze oder 30-45 Sekunden in der Mikrowelle. Achte darauf, dass sie nicht zu heiß werden, damit die Tortillas nicht trocken werden.
