1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    For the cooked lentils

    1 cup water 
    ⅓ cup green lentils 
    ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt 

      For the Muhammara

      1 cup jarred roasted red bell peppers, drained 
      ½ cup walnuts
      2 tablespoons olive oil 
      2 tablespoons almond flour 
      1 teaspoon honey (or agave)
      1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 
      1 garlic clove 
      ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes 
      ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
      ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

        For assembly 

        4 small Crepini® Egg Wraps with Gluten-Free Grains 
        1 cup Arugula

          Directions

          1. Roast the eggplant. Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced eggplant with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Evenly spread on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. 
          2. Place in the oven and bake until eggplant is tender, 15-20 minutes. 
          3. While eggplant is roasting, cook the lentils. Add water, lentils, and salt to a 2-qt pot. Place on a stove set to high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until lentils are tender, but not mushy, 15-20 minutes. Drain excess water and place lentils in a bowl. 
          4. Make the muhammara: Add red peppers, walnuts, olive oil, almond flour, honey, balsamic vinegar, garlic, red pepper flakes, cumin, and salt to a blender. Process until smooth. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Transfer to a bowl. 
          5. For assembly, place Crepinis on a plate and microwave for 30 seconds. 
          6. Spread ¼ cup muhammara on the base of each Crepini. 
          7. Top each with ¼ cup each of arugula, 2 tablespoons of lentils, and ¼ cup roasted eggplant. Serve as a hearty lunch or a healthy dinner option!
