Hasperat Recipe

Ingredients:

• Tortillas or wraps – 4 large, flour tortillas
• Vegetables (Julienned):
  • 1 large carrot
  • 1 cucumber (seeds removed)
  • 1 bell pepper (red or yellow)
  • 1 daikon radish or regular radish
• Leafy greens:
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or lettuce
• Spicy brine:
  • 1 cup water
  • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like sriracha)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
• Hummus (Optional):
  • 1 cup hummus (preferably spicy or roasted red pepper flavour)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spicy Brine:

   • In a medium-sized bowl, mix the water, vinegar, hot sauce, chili powder, red pepper flakes, minced garlic, and salt. Stir until well combined.

2. Brine the Vegetables:

   • Add the julienned vegetables (carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, radish) into the spicy brine. Cover and let them sit for at least 1-2 hours, preferably overnight in the refrigerator, to absorb the flavours.

3. Assemble the Hasperat:

   • Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin layer of hummus on it if you're using it.
   • Place a handful of the brined vegetables in the centre of the tortilla.
   • Add a few spinach or lettuce leaves on top of the vegetables.
   • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up tightly like a burrito.

4. Serve:

   • Cut the Hasperat in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the spicy and tangy flavours!

You can adjust the spiciness according to your taste. The key is the spicy brine that gives Hasperat its signature kick.
