Instructions

To roast the cauliflower

  • Pre heat your oven to 180c.
  • Cut cauliflower up into steaks. Add to a large roasting pan with the olive oil, salt and garlic powder. 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.
  • In another pan, add the aubergine and toss with oil, salt and garlic powder. Roast for approx 30 minutes.

To make the stew

  • Roast the peppers for approx 30 minutes or until soft and a little charred.
  • In the meantime, fry the onion in a medium pan until soft and slightly browning. Now add the garlic and fry for a further minute.
  • Add the spices and stir to combine. You can now add the chopped tomatoes.
  • Cook the tomatoes for 20 minutes on a low to medium heat, then add the chickpeas.
  • When the peppers are roasted, add them to the stew with the water and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes.

To make the flatbread

  • In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Now add the wet ingredients, mix to combine and then transfer to a floured board.
  • Knead for a few minutes until you get a rough but springy dough.

To cook

  • Heat a large griddle pan or frying pan to medium.
  • Divide the dough into four, then roll out the first flatbread.
  • Pop it on the griddle pan and allow to cook and char a little on that side, then flip to cook to on the other side.
  • Repeat.
  • Keep the flatbreads warm on a plate covered with a clean cloth.

To serve

  • Top the stew with the aubergine and cauliflower. Serve with the flatbreads.
