Lebanese 30 Mins Prep · 30 Mins Cook
- To make the barbecued jackfruit, finely chop the leeks. Peel and grate one garlic clove.
- Drain the tinned jackfruit. Using a sharp knife, cut out the centre of the jackfruit and pull it apart. Set aside.
- Prepare a barbecue to a medium heat.
- Toss the jackfruit in sunflower oil and grill over medium heat for 5-10 minutes per side, or until slightly charred and caramelised.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat and sauté the leeks and garlic in 2 tbsp olive oil for 5 minutes. Add 2 tbsp cumin and paprika to the pan and stir for a further 5 minutes. Add the jackfruit and lower the heat. Allow to simmer and reduce for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- To make the beetroot hummus, peel and grate the second garlic clove. Juice the lemon. Drain the cooked beetroot and place in a food processor along with drained chickpeas, garlic, ½ tsp cumin, 3 tbsp olive oil, tahini and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy and adjust seasoning if necessary. Set aside.
- To make the green salad, roughly chop the cucumber, celery and parsley. Juice the lime. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.
- To assemble the ‘shawarma’, spoon the spicy jackfruit into the centre of each flatbread and top with hummus, green salad and tzatziki.
- Serve immediately.
