Because of our fondness for camping and all things outdoors, we love food that can be made ahead, stores well, and travels easily. Most people would say, "SANDWICH!", but not us. Oh no. We require much more delicious than your standard run of the mill PB&J or ham and cheese.
Enter: Lavash Pinwheels.
Doesn't that look yummy?
So let me give you the down low on what's in these dizzy little yummies.
Lavash Pinwheels
Lavash bread
Thinly sliced deli meats of your choice, we use pepperoni, ham, and turkey
Thinly sliced cheese, we use provolone
Red pepper, cut into strips, and roasted
Leaf lettuce
Garlic and Herb cream cheese, room temp is best
Lay out a piece of the lavash bread, and spread a thin layer of the cream cheese across the entire surface. Start at one of the short edges and begin laying out the meat, single layer, from long edge to long edge. Repeat next to it with next meat, but leave a gap for the red pepper. So on, with the remaining meats, cheese, lettuce, and fill in between with the red pepper strips. Here's a rough diagram:
After it's rolled up, grab a good sharp knife and slice it at about one inch intervals. If you pack them side by side, open edge towards the one your putting it beside, it will hold them closed. They will "set up" in the fridge and will stay rolled when separated. We put them in a square or rectangular lided plastic bowl, with sheet of waxed paper between layers. Pack 'em in tight, and they can take abuse of the bowl being shaken around in a cooler or lunch bag, and still be as pertty as you packed 'em. Of course, they are also great for at home!
One of my favorite things about Lavash Pinwheels, is that the possibilities are endless. You can put just about anything in them that you would like. My husband likes them with horseradish spread, roast beef, and cheddar cheese. My personal favorite is spreadable swiss cheese, roasted chicken breast, and Canadian bacon. Our kids are fond of the above recipe, so it's our go to on family outings. Drop a comment and tell me what you would put on yours. I would love some ideas!
Those would go over big in my house. Everyone loves bite sized snacks like this.
ReplyDeleteOur version of pinwheel involves bread and margarine with a lot of sugar. It's not healthy but it's really good.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! My two sons want me to make that one. I will make this during Spring Break next week. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow I'm so hungry after reading this! Thanks for sharing. I'm one of those moms that when we go camping I reach for the pb&j. But I might give your pinwheel a try.
ReplyDeleteA big fan of camping myself so these are a great treat to pack and have on the trail or in the campsite - Jason Young
ReplyDeleteI make a vegetarian version of this. It's my go-to for 'bring a dish events', and it's always a hit because most people in Denmark haven't seen anything like it before. It's so easy to impress people as a foreigner :)
ReplyDeleteI love pinwheels! My Aunt brings them to holidays all the time. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI love lavash bread, but I’ve never made lavash pinwheels! Looks so delicious and easy to prepare! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! Spare me a pinwheel!
ReplyDeleteNow that's definitely the kind of snack you want while you're spending time with the family outside. I love the idea of pinwheels instead of your regular sandwiches. It looks so good!

ReplyDeleteI love pinwheel recipes ( wraps, sandwiches ). They're easy-to-prepare plus you can get very creative with them and most of all they don't get messy when you eat them
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever made a pinwheel sandwich before....this looks really good though and nice for an evening outdoors with the family
ReplyDeleteI've never made pinwheels before but this is a great alternative to boring ol' sandwiches! I'll try these on our next outing!
ReplyDeleteThis will be the perfect finger food for our next party!
ReplyDeleteI don't use pepperoni on mine, but my recipe is very similar. They taste delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! I've never tried this but it looks good.
