Ingredients:
- 180g spinach
- 375g whole wheat flour
- 45g unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Method:
- Pour boiling water over the spinach in a bowl and leave it for 2-3 minutes.
- Once the spinach has wilted, use a sieve or a colander to remove the water, and run the spinach under cold water.
- Transfer the cooked spinach into a blender and blitz it, until the cooked spinach forms a smooth paste.
- Add the flour, butter and the salt into a large bowl and rub together using your fingers, until it is well mixed.
- Add the spinach puree to the bowl and mix well.
- Finally, add 60g of water to the mixture until the dough holds together (but is not too wet).
- Cover the dough with a damp tea-towel and set aside for 20 minutes.
- Divide the mixture into 10 equal balls.
- Cover the surface in a sprinkle of flour, and roll out each ball into 8 inch discs.
- Heat a pan.
- Once the pan is hot, transfer a wrap into the pan and cook for about 30 seconds on each side (or until brown spots appear).
- Repeat step 11 until all 10 of your wraps have been cooked.
