Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato (about 250g)
- 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe medium avocado
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- 3 tbsp coriander, chopped
- 1 tsp ras el hanout spices or harissa paste
- 2 wholemeal folded flatbreads
- 2 tbsp natural yogurt
Step by step
- Peel the sweet potato; cut into 1cm dice. Put in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 tablespoon of water, cover and cook on high for 5 minutes or until tender (stir halfway); drain and pat dry on kitchen paper. Rinse and drain the chickpeas; partially crush with a masher.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the sweet potato and red onion for 2-3 minutes over a high heat until starting to colour. Add the chickpeas and stir-fry for another 2 minutes or until heated through.
- Meanwhile, roughly mash the avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice; season and stir in most of the coriander. Warm the flatbreads.
-
Mix the ras el hanout into the chickpea mixture with another squeeze of lemon and a splash of water; season. Spread the smashed avocado onto the flatbreads (opened out), then top with the spicy veg and chickpeas, a drizzle of yogurt and the rest of the coriander.TipMake it vegan
