Mediterranean grilled vegetables in lavash

Grilled fresh vegetables load up this sandwich with flavour and nutrition. The secret vegetable? Sun-dried tomatoes.

Look for oil-packed sun-dried tomato strips in jars near the fresh tomatoes in the produce aisle of most grocery stores. Most grocery stores also carry Greek (strained) yogurt, which has a thicker, richer texture than other yogurts. Lavash, a Middle Eastern flatbread, can be replaced with Greek pita bread

Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes 

Serves 4 

• 1 medium eggplant (450 g/1 lb), peeled and sliced lengthwise, 0.5-cm (1/4-in) thick
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) oil-packed sun-dried tomato strips
•  2 red peppers, seeded and quartered
• 450 g (1 lb) zucchini, sliced lengthwise
• 0.5-m (1/4-in) thick
• 1 small red onion, sliced crosswise
• 50 ml (1/3 c) fat-free Greek yogurt
• 50 g (1/3 c) reduced-fat cream cheese
• 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh oregano or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lemon juice, divided
• Pinch of salt
•  0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) ground black pepper
• 4 whole wheat lavash (30 cm/12 in)

1. Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes.
2. Grill the eggplant, peppers, zucchini and onion directly over the heat until nicely grill-marked and just tender, three to five minutes per side. Let cool slightly, then slice all of the vegetables crosswise into pieces about one-centimetre (1/2-inch) wide.
3. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and place in a small bowl. Stir in the yogurt, cream cheese, oregano, 15 millilitres (one tablespoon) of the lemon juice, and salt and pepper.
4. For each wrap, spread a lavash with about 45 millilitres (three tablespoons) of the sundried tomato mixture. Starting about 2.5 centimetres (one inch) up from the bottom of the lavash, arrange rows of eggplant, peppers, zucchini and onion, keeping the ingredients on the bottom third of the lavash. Sprinkle with one millilitre (1/4 teaspoon) of lemon juice.
5. Fold the bottom of the lavash over the filling then fold in about 2.5 centimetres (one inch) of the sides. Roll firmly away from you and cut each wrap in half on a diagonal.
