Sauteed Kale and Mushroom Wraps
For this week’s mid-week inspiration, we’re throwing some sandwich action into the mix with these wraps. We haven’t posted a sandwich recipe in a while and I absolutely love a good sandwich for lunch, so we decided to share this quick and easy Kale and Mushroom Wrap recipe. This wrap has the perfect balance of tenderness and crunchiness and also of savory and sweet. The artichokes, olives and mushrooms are nice and tender, while the cooked kale is soft, but still has a little bit of a crunch to it. And the brininess of the kalamata olives is balanced perfectly with the sweetness of the grape tomatoes.
The great thing about a sandwich recipe like this is that if you don’t have certain ingredients on hand, you can use what you have, or substitute things that you don’t like with things that you do. If you want to make an even quicker version of this recipe, you can skip the sautéing step and use raw mushrooms and kale and just omit the garlic—the taste of raw garlic might be overpowering. Either way you do it, it’s a quick and healthy lunch option.
