    These wraps work equally well as nourishment for lunch or dinner. You shouldn’t feel bitter about doing without the flour wraps in favour of radicchio. It’s a swap that saves on calories and adds a healthy dose of vitamin K to help with bone building. If you want to turn this dish into an appetizer, consider spooning the chickpea mixture into endive leaves.
