INSTRUCTIONS
HUMMUS
Hummus: In food processor, finely chop parsley and chick-peas. Add tahini,
lemon juice, sesame seeds, water, oil, salt, cumin, coriander and pepper;
pure until smooth. Mix in garlic. [Jummus can be refrigerated in airtight
container for up to 3 days.]
Spread 1/3 cup hummus over each tortilla; sprinkle cucumber, tomato and
green onion evenly over each. Sprinkle each with about 1 tbsp alfalfa. Fold
bottom of tortilla up about 1 inch; roll side tightly into centre, then
roll other side into centre. Wrap each bundle tightly in plastic wrap.
Tips:
Tahini, a thick paste made of ground sesame seeds, is available in Middle
East grocery stores and some supermarkets.
To toast sesame seeds, cook in skillet over medium heat, shaking pan
occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until seeds are fragrant and golden.
