1small dropavocado oil, mild olive oil or high-oleic sunflower oil
Procédé
Grind the flaxseeds as finely as possible. I use a small electric coffee grinder for this. Ready-ground flaxseeds also work.
50 g flaxseeds
Heat the water in a kettle or draw boiling water from a boiling-water tap.
80 ml water
Mix with the ground flaxseeds and salt. Leave to rest for half an hour.
2 generous pinches salt (Celtic sea salt)
Meanwhile, boil the egg in a small saucepan. Then run it under cold tap water.
1 egg
Place a piece of parchment paper on the work surface (at least as large as the diameter of the frying pan). If the dough is still very sticky: sprinkle a little ground flaxseed onto the parchment paper. Flatten the dough on it and place the second piece of parchment paper on top. Roll out with a rolling pin. The edges can be slightly uneven.
1 extra tablespoon flaxseeds
Remove the top piece of parchment paper. Press an upside-down bowl onto the dough. Remove the trimmings.
Heat the frying pan. Add a few small drops of oil. Cook the wrap for about two minutes on each side. Leave to cool.
1 small drop avocado oil, mild olive oil or high-oleic sunflower oil
Chop the egg and the gherkin. Finely snip the chives. Mix the egg with the gherkin, chives, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper and chili flakes.
1 small gherkin, 1 handful fresh chives, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard or smooth mustard, 1 teaspoon chili flakes
Top the wrap with the lettuce. Place the ham on top. Spread with egg salad. Roll up.
1 leaf iceberg lettuce, 1 slice Serrano ham
Notes
The nutritional values are calculated using an American database that lists 2 g of carbohydrates per 100 grams of flaxseeds. For the wrap alone (without filling), this gives 1 g of carbohydrates per wrap.For whole flaxseeds sold in Europe, allow a maximum of 13 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams of flaxseeds. Since some dough is discarded and a wrap contains a lot of water, this gives a maximum of 6.5 grams per wrap. And between 6 and 6.5 per 100 grams (between 6 and 6.5). A wrap weighs just over 100 grams.Equipment: small PFAS-free frying pan, small (electric) coffee grinder, PFAS-free parchment paper, rolling pin, bowl (with a top rim the same diameter as the base of the frying pan), kettle (or boiling water directly from a boiling-water tap), saucepan.
