SHAWARMA CHICKPEA & POTATO BOWLS
Bowl food is my absolute favourite, especially when it tastes as good as this – shawarma-spiced crispy chickpeas and potatoes, a herby yoghurt and lovely warm flatbreads. It's one of my favourite things to make for lunch.
Ingredients
- 400 g can chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 medium potatoes cubed
- 2 garlic cloves grated
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch cloves
- 1/2 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- pinch cayenne pepper
- olive oil
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
- to serve: toasted flatbread, extra fresh dill, lemon zest
HERBY YOGHURT
- 300 g thick vegan yoghurt
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 10 g fresh mint leaves only & finely chopped
- 5 g fresh dill finely chopped
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove grated
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 200°c (fan assisted)/425°f/gas 7.
-
Combine the chickpeas, potato, garlic, cinnamon, cloves, ground coriander, ginger, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, a nice pinch of salt and black pepper and a really good glug of olive oil in a mixing bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together and rub the spices into the chickpeas and potatoes, then pour out between two baking trays. Roast for 30-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Meanwhile, you can make the herby yoghurt. Combine the yoghurt, olive oil, mint, dill, lemon juice, garlic and a nice pinch of salt and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well, then taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed.
-
Spread the herby yoghurt between bowls. Top with the roasted potatoes and chickpeas and finish with a drizzle of olive oil, a few sprigs of extra fresh dill and a grating of lemon zest. Serve with toasted flatbread.
