How can I ensure my homemade hummus is extra smooth?

To achieve a very smooth hummus, process all ingredients in your food processor for at least a minute, adding a little more lemon juice or water if the mixture seems too thick.

What makes the tomato confit smoky in this recipe?

The smoky flavor in the tomato confit comes from the spices mixed with the cherry tomatoes and olive oil before roasting them in the oven for about an hour.

Why is it important to salt the eggplant slices before making the wraps?

Salting the eggplant slices and letting them sit in a colander for 15-20 minutes helps to draw out excess moisture and bitterness, making them more pliable and flavorful for wrapping.

Can I prepare the hummus and smoky tomato confit ahead of time?

Yes, both the hummus and smoky tomato confit can be made in advance. The confit, once cooled, can be stored in a glass jar, and the hummus can be refrigerated until ready to assemble the wraps.

Are there any tips for making the eggplant wraps hold together well?

Ensuring the eggplant slices are cut to about 1/4-inch thickness and properly salted to remove moisture will make them more flexible and easier to roll or fold around the fillings.

How to Prepare Eggplant Hummus Wraps With Smoky Tomato Confit [Vegan, Grain-Free]

Make the Hummus:

In the bowl of your food processor, add all ingredients for the hummus, and process for a minute, until smooth. Add more lemon juice or water, if too thick.

Make the Smoky Tomato Confit:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and mix with the olive oil, and spices. Spread on a baking tray, lined with parchment paper, and roast for about an hour.
Let cool, and store in a glass jar. Make a double dose and use the rest in salads.

Make the Eggplant Wraps:

Cut off the sides from each eggplant vertically and cut the flesh into 4 1/4-inch thick slices, for a total of 8 slices. Sprinkle with salt liberally, and leave in a colander for 15-20 minutes until they release their dark, bitter liquid. Rinse, and pat dry.
Brush the eggplant pieces liberally with olive oil on both sides and sprinkle again with salt.
Preheat your grill on high, or oven broiler, and cook the eggplant pieces for about 5 minutes per side, or until very soft, and charred on the outside. Let the eggplants cool completely.
Cut the Kalamata olives into small pieces.
Assemble the eggplant wraps by spreading 2-3 tablespoons of the hummus, top with 2 tablespoons roasted tomatoes, and 1-2 tablespoons of the chopped Kalamata olives. Secure with a toothpick or serve wrapped in lettuce leaves for easy picking.
Optionally, add pita chip pieces in each wrap for added crunch and flavor.
