CROQUINOETTE WRAP PARTY
Ingredients:
FOR MISO DRESSING
- 4 ounces (113 g) drained firm silken tofu
- 3 tablespoons (24 g) white miso
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) white balsamic vinegar
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste
- Smoked sea salt, to taste
- 1 clove garlic
FOR CROQUETTES
- 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons white miso
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 2 cups cooked and cooled quinoa
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup grated zucchini
- 2 tablespoons minced shallot
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil, divided
FOR WRAPS
- 1 English cucumber, cut in half lengthwise and cut into thin half-moons
- Eight 8-inch flour tortillas
- Sriracha, for serving (optional)
Instructions
To make The dressing:
- Blend all the ingredients in a blender. Store in an airtight container and chill until ready to serve.
To make The croquettes:
- Place the chickpeas, peanut butter, miso, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and garlic in a food processor. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl. Place in a large bowl and add the quinoa, bread crumbs, cornstarch, zucchini, shallot, salt, and pepper. Combine thoroughly without mashing too much. The mixture will look wet.
- Cover the bowl and chill for 1 hour.
- Divide into 8 croquettes by scooping out a packed ⅓ cup per croquette and shaping into a 3-inch wide round.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the croquettes in batches for 6 minutes on each side: the croquette must get a golden-brown, crispy crust.
- Adjust the heat, if needed, and use the remaining tablespoon of oil if needed as you cook the croquettes.
To assemble The wraps :
- Divide the sliced cucumber evenly among all 8 tortillas, drizzle as much dressing as desired on top, place a croquette on top and fold the tortilla over.
- Add sriracha, if desired.
