BROCCOLI WRAPS

This is a more involved recipe that gives you a great lunch option. Broccoli gets blended in the food processor and combined with eggs to make veggie-loaded lunch wraps with which you can wrap up sliced meat (or any filling, really) for a deliciously satisfying Paleo lunch. Wrap turkey and mayo, or even eggs and bacon, for an easy on-the-go breakfast. SERVES 4

PREP TIME: 15 minutes

COOK TIME: 20 minutes

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

3 eggs

3 garlic cloves, finely minced

1 shallot, minced

1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a food processor or blender, pulse the broccoli until roughly chopped (don’t overprocess—you want it to still be rough). Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then twist in a thin cloth or cheesecloth to remove any water (not a lot will come out, but the little that’s there needs to be removed). Transfer the broccoli to a medium bowl.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic, shallot, chives, oregano, and parsley, and season with salt and pepper; pour over the broccoli, and mix until well incorporated.
4. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, and scoop the broccoli mixture into four equal sections. Spread each section of broccoli out until it’s about ¼ inch thick, leaving a little room in between each. Bake for 10 minutes, and then flip and bake for another 7 minutes.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, and allow the broccoli wraps to cool. Store in the refrigerator. To reheat, broil them quickly in the oven or toaster oven.
