Provided by á-10360

Number Of Ingredients 12

Cooking spray
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick strips
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup falafel mix
2 whole-wheat pitas, halved
6 tablespoons hummus
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon harissa or other hot chili paste
4 cups shredded coleslaw mix
6 radishes, halved and thinly sliced
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Toss the chicken with the olive oil in a large bowl, then add the falafel mix and toss to coat. Arrange the chicken on the rack and bake until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. While the chicken is baking, stack the pita halves and wrap them in foil; warm in the oven, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the hummus, lemon zest and juice, harissa and 3 tablespoons water in a large bowl. Remove 2 tablespoons of the hummus sauce and reserve. Add the coleslaw mix, radishes and parsley to the remaining hummus sauce and toss. Season with salt. Divide the chicken among plates and drizzle with the reserved hummus sauce. Stuff the slaw in the pitas and serve with the chicken.

Categories     Main course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 25

1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
400g can chickpeas , drained
400g can butter beans , drained
juice ½ lemon
small pack coriander , including stalks
¼ red chilli , deseeded, and chopped
1 garlic clove , crushed
1 egg yolk , beaten
small pack parsley
4 tbsp wholemeal flour
400g can chickpeas , drained
1 tbsp tahini paste
pinch of ground cumin
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice ½ lemon
50g barley couscous
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
juice 1 lemon
small pack parsley , finely chopped
small pack mint , finely chopped
small pack coriander , finely chopped
2 spring onions , white parts only, finely sliced
½ cucumber , deseeded and cut into small pieces
3 tomatoes , quartered, deseeded and cut into small pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and put a non-stick baking tray inside. For the falafels, heat a large non-stick frying pan, add the cumin and coriander seeds and dry-fry until fragrant (1-2 mins), stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Remove from the pan.
  • Put the seeds, the remaining falafel ingredients and some seasoning into a food processor and blitz until you have a chunky paste. If it seems too dry, add 1 tsp water and blitz again until you have the consistency of damp sand. Using your hands, divide the mixture into 12 falafel balls and chill for 30 mins.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan. When hot, add the falafel balls, pressing down into the pan to make patties. Leave to cook, without turning, for 2-3 mins, then check to make sure they're brown and crisp. Turn and cook the other side for 2 mins more. Remove from the pan, transfer to the baking tray in the oven and cook for a further 10 mins. Meanwhile, prepare the barley couscous following pack instructions.
  • For the hummus, put all the ingredients, except the lemon, into a food processor and blitz to form a stiff paste. With the motor running, slowly add the lemon juice and up to 3 tbsp water to get it to the consistency of your choice.
  • For the tabbouleh, mix the olive oil, lemon juice and some black pepper in a small bowl. In a larger bowl, combine the rest of the tabbouleh ingredients, along with the cooked couscous, and add the dressing. Mix well.
  • Put aside 4 falafels and 4 tbsp hummus in the fridge for Stuffed Moroccan pittas (see 'goes well with', right). Serve the remaining falafels with the remaining hummus and the tabbouleh.

FALAFEL CRUSTED CHICKEN



Falafel Crusted Chicken image

We all know that fried chicken isn't healthy, but that doesn't stop me from salivating when I smell it frying it the grocery store's deli. As long as it isn't kosher, I don't think twice, but when it is, it takes all my self control not to buy it and eat it all in the car before I can even get home. Rather than let it destroy my health & my diet, I had to find an alternative. I was inspired by Susie Fishbein.

Purée until smooth, adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving bowl and rinse out the blender.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce: Add the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint to the blender. Purée until mostly smooth, but still with some texture. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with more dill.
  • Serve the falafel, hummus, and tzatziki with pitas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
