Instructions
To roast the cauliflower
- Cut cauliflower up into steaks.
- Add to a large roasting pan with the olive oil and salt. Roast for 20 minutes, then turn. Continue to roast for a further 20 minutes or until the veg is cooked and golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool.
To make the baba ganoush
- Preheat your oven to 180c
- Add the aubergines to a roasting tin, then roast for 25-30 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool.
- Slice through the skin and scope out the skin.
- Add all the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blitz to a smooth paste.
- You can drizzle more extra virgin olive oil to serve.
To make the chickpeas
- Add all the ingredients to a small saucepan–stir to combine and heat through.
To make the dukkah
- Put the nuts, cumin seeds, coriander seeds and sesame seeds on to a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Dry toast for 12 minutes on gas Mark 4/180C. Allow to cool.
- Add thyme leaves, chilli & salt to a mini chopper and pulse in 1 second bursts.
- Check after each pulse as you don’t want it too finely chopped.
To make the flatbreads
- Add the gram flour and seasoning to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the water, olive oil and vinegar. Mix to a smooth batter. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Add a little oil to the base of a non-stick small frying pan. Add 1/4 cup of the batter to the pan and swirl around the bottom so you get an even crepe.
- Cook on a medium heat for approximately 2 minutes until there are bubbles in the crepe and you can lift over to flip easily.
- Flip and cook on the other side for 30 seconds to a minute.
- Remove from the pan and place on and cover with a clean cloth to keep warm.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
To serve
- Load your plate with baba ganoush, cauliflower steaks, smoky chickpeas and dukkah.
