Method
For the flat bread:
- Pre heat your oven on the highest temperature possible and place a baking tray on the lowest shelf.
- Place the flour, salt, sugar, chopped coriander into a large mixing bowl, stir in the yoghurt and lemon juice.
- Tip your flat bread dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and slightly bouncy.
- Divide into 12 small balls, using a rolling pin roll out into a small oval. Using a fish slice slide the flatbread onto the pre-heated tray.
- Allow the flatbread to slightly puff and become golden brown on the underside.
- Then flip to cook the other side. Once cooked, use a pair of tongs to remove from the oven.
For the vegan koftas:
- Pre-heat the Oven to Fan 200⁰C.
- Sauté the onions and garlic with rapeseed oil in a medium pan on a medium heat until soft.
- Add the fennel seeds, chilli, ginger, ground coriander, and Garam Masala to the pan and cook out for 2 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add the ground almonds, maple syrup, lime zest, fresh coriander, Tamari soy sauce, and gram flour and combine well.
- Using an electric whisk, whip the aquafaba until pale and fluffy, then add to the main mixture.
- Roll the mixture into 20g balls and place on a Universal Tray, then transfer to the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
For the broad bean and pea hummus:
- Boil the broad beans and peas for one minute.
- Once finished cooking, add the peas and broad beans (podded) into a food processor, add in the garlic, tahini, lemon juice and blitz to a thick puree.
- Add the olive oil and blitz again to make a smooth paste consistency.
- Transfer the hummus to a bowl, and incorporate the mint.
