Ingredients
Flatbreads:
160g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
130g plant based yoghurt
1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
Roasted Pumpkin:
900g pumpkin
2 tbsp + 2 tbsp (60ml) olive oil
½ tsp + ½ tsp salt
5g chives
5g dill
½ lemon, juiced
300g chickpeas, drained and rinsed
To serve:
4 tbsp plant based yoghurt
1 lemon, sliced
Method
STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 200˚C fan/220˚C conventional.
STEP 2
Next, make the dough for the flatbreads. In a large bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Next, add the yoghurt and olive oil and use a spatula to stir it until a scrappy dough forms.
STEP 3
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for 3-4 minutes, until soft and springy. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover it with a damp tea towel or cling film and let it rest for 20 minutes.
STEP 4
In the meantime, slice the pumpkin into thin slices and add it to a large roasting tin. Drizzle the pumpkin with 2 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt and use your hands to toss the pumpkin and oil together. Roast the pumpkin for 35-40 minutes, until very soft and crisp around the edges.
STEP 5
While the pumpkin roasts, prepare the rest of the pumpkin salad. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, chives, dill and lemon juice to a large bowl and stir to combine. Next, stir in the chickpeas.
STEP 6
Once the pumpkin is roasted, let it cool for 10 minutes, then stir it into the bowl with the herbs and chickpeas. Set the salad aside.
STEP 7
Transfer the flatbread dough onto a lightly floured surface. Split the dough into four portions and use a rolling pin to roll each piece out until it’s roughly ½ cm thick.
STEP 8
Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium high heat until hot. Cook each flatbread, one at a time, for around one minute on each side - until charred and puffed.
STEP 9
Serve each flatbread topped with a big spoonful of pumpkin salad, a dollop of plant based yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice.
