Ingredients

ROASTED VEGETABLE NAAN-WICH

  • ½ carrot, cut into 1cm-thick wedges
  • ½ parsnip, cut into 1cm-thick wedges
  • 1 garlic naan bread
  • ½ tomato
  • ½ Lebanese cucumber
  • ½ baby cos lettuce
  • 30g feta cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar (e.g. red wine, white wine)

FALAFEL

  • 150g falafel
  • 1 teaspoon falafel spice mix

TO SERVE

  • 1-2 tablespoons Middle Eastern salsa verde

Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. Toss carrot and parsnip with a drizzle of olive oil on prepared tray. Season with salt and pepper and roast for about 15 minutes, until golden. Turn once during cooking.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix falafel mixture and falafel spice mix together. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium (preferably non-stick) fry-pan on medium heat. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out mix and dollop straight into pan, then use a spatula to lightly flatten patties.

  5. While falafel cook, place naan on tray next to vegetables and warm in oven for 3-4 minutes.
  6. While naan warms, prepare fillings. Dice cucumber and tomato 1cm; thinly slice cos lettuce; crumble feta. Combine all in a medium bowl, along with vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  7. place warm naan bread onto a plate, spread over Middle Eastern salsa verde and top with roasted carrot and parsnip, feta filling mixture and falafel. Fold over to make a naan-which.
