Dunster Castle Inspired Hummus Veggie Wrap – Easy Recipe
On a summer day in Dunster, we explored the local beach during the morning hours. We enjoyed the local seaside very much. After strolling Dunster Beach, we arrived just in time for lunch at Dunster Village. Walking up the main road, we noticed that the Dunster Castle Hotel was open for lunch. So, we decided to try a meal at this location. And this meal is the inspiration for this recipe – the Dunster Castle Hummus Veggie Wrap.

The menu at Dunster Castle in Somerset described several wrap options. Being non-meat eaters, we chose their vegetarian offering.

It was nice to try a new location for dining during our short stay in Dunster. This meal hit the spot for lunch. It was not heavy at all and a nice proportion.
Vegetarian Wrap Health Benefits
Vegetarian hummus wraps are an excellent choice for nutritious and satisfying meals. These wraps are an incredible source of healthy fats essential for maintaining heart health and supporting brain function.
The primary ingredient, hummus, made from chickpeas, provides a substantial amount of plant-based protein, making it an ideal option for vegetarians and those looking to reduce meat consumption. This protein is key in building and repairing tissues, offering a sustained energy release throughout the day.
Furthermore, these wraps are perfect for a quick lunch, as they are simple to prepare and convenient to carry. With an array of fresh vegetables, these wraps offer an amazing meal that contributes to your daily intake of vitamins and minerals, ensuring you stay energized and nourished.
Recreating the Dunster Castle Hummus Veggie Wrap
Let’s take a look at making this veggie wrap next. We present the recipe in three sections. First, we made our own Hoisin sauce. Next, we made our homemade hummus with canned chickpeas. We prefer to make our own hummus versus buying store-bought hummus, though you can buy prepared hummus to use in these wraps. Finally, we assemble the wrap. While several steps are involved, you can prepare this in about 10 to 15 minutes. If you will be making homemade roasted bell peppers, be sure to start this step first.
This is an easy recipe for making a quick and healthy lunch. Check out our recipe card below for our veggie wrap recipe.
