- 6 tablespoons (60 ml) of water
- 1 tablespoon (10 ml) of extra virgin olive oil
- (optional) 1 pinch of salt

- 170 g of tofu
Materials Needed
- Bowls
- Wooden ladle
- Pastry board
- Food cutting board
- Vegetable knife
- Pan to cook the wraps
- Clear film or tea towel
Preparation
- Prepare the dough for the wraps by pouring the flour, salt (optional), oil and water into a bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly and for a long time, possibly adding enough flour to make the dough velvety.
Attention!
The dough of the wraps must have an even softer consistency than that of the bread: in this way, the rolling out with a rolling pin will be easier.- Let the dough rest for about twenty minutes, covering it with a cloth or with cling film.
- Meanwhile, mix the sesame seeds with the velvety tofu to form a cream. Then add the chopped rocket. Cut the previously washed red radicchio into strips and let it dry in a pan with a drop of extra virgin olive oil, a little water, salt and pepper.
- After the resting time, divide the dough into 4 parts and, with a rolling pin, roll out each ball obtained to form a very thin piadina with a diameter of about 15-20 cm.
- Put a non-stick or stone pan on the heat and, when it is very hot, cook the wraps (it is advisable to sear the wraps for 1 minute per side).
- Fill each piadina with the tofu, sesame and rocket cream. Roll each single piadina on itself, then cut 5-6 cm long logs. Garnish a plate with the slightly wilted strips of radicchio and arrange the piadina logs.
- Serve immediately

Do you like vegan wraps with tofu? Of course I have only proposed a variant, but you can play with the ingredients you like best to customize your creations.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
The wraps with flavored tofu are a "single dish" ideal for outdoor eating and designed to meet the demand of the vegan population. From a nutritional and energy point of view, vegan wraps differ considerably from the traditional ones stuffed with cured meats and cheeses for the lower energy intake and for the better lipid profile (characterized by the presence of vegetable polyunsaturated fatty acids). It can be seen that, by contextualizing the vegan wraps with flavored tofu in the right diet, they can contribute to the moderation of cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood.
