Feel free to roll up the naan-wich (like you would with a burrito) and keep in the fridge ready to grab for an on-the-go lunch. Just add the salsa verde after you have warmed it. The salsa verde tastes best when it’s cold, but you can just pack it all together a day or two in advance and heat if that suits you better.


Ingredients

Naan-Wich

  • 1 pack carrot and parsnip batons
  • 4 garlic naan breads
  • ½ telegraph cucumber
  • 1 tomato
  • ½ capsicum
  • 2 spring onions
  • 1 pottle feta cheese
  • 2 tsp red wine vinegar

Falafel

  • 1 tub falafel
  • 1 Tbsp falafel spice mix

To Serve

  • 1 pottle Middle Eastern salsa verde

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 230°C. Line two oven trays with baking paper. Toss carrot and parsnips with a drizzle of olive oil on first prepared tray. Season and roast for about 20 minutes, until golden. Turn once during cooking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine falafel and falafel spice mix. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large (preferably non-stick) fry-pan on medium heat. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out mixture, dollop into the pan, then use a spatula to lightly flatten into patties.
  3. Cook patties for 2-3 minutes each side, until golden. Remove from pan and set aside on a paper towel. While falafel cook, place naan breads on second prepared tray and place in oven (on rack below vegetables) to warm for 3-4 minutes.
  4. While breads warm, dice cucumber, tomato and capsicum 1cm; thinly slice spring onions; crumble feta. Combine all in a medium bowl, along with carrot and parsnip, vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste.
  5. To serve, place warm naan bread onto a plate, spread with some Middle Eastern salsa verde and top with roasted vegetables and falafel. Fold over to make a naan-wich.
