Phyllo-Wrapped Winter Vegetables

...With potato-lentil puree, fall harvest pickles, sesame salt, and Greek yogurt.

While Pachamama's menu could be accused of being "meat-centric," we never forget to make an amazing vegetarian entree. Even non-vegetarians will love this hearty, stick-to-your-ribs dish.

Inside this crunchy phyllo dough, you’ll find a “wintry mix” of veggies: cauliflower, squash, and eggplant, to name a few. This bit of rolled-up vegetarian delight is served with a surprisingly velvety puree of potatoes and lentils, and the dish gets its crunch from a side of pickled carrots, cucumbers, celery, and red onion. The small bit of Greek yogurt on top of the wrap lends a complimentary tang to the earthiness of the vegetables. Try it with a spicy Spanish red, like Los Rocas 2006 Garnacha.
