Jamie's £1 Wonders & Money-Saving Meals
By Jamie Oliver
Ingredients
1 x 400g tin of chickpeas
100g luxury fruit and nut mix
2 teaspoons garam masala, plus extra to serve
1 large free-range egg
250g lean higher-welfare beef mince
250g lean higher-welfare pork mince
olive oil
300g self-raising flour
1kg mixed crunchy veg, such as red onion, cabbage, onion, baby gem, radishes, broccoli stalks, cucumber
1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
extra virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons Greek yoghurt
2 teaspoons chilli oil
½ a bunch of fresh mint (15g)
Method
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Drain the chickpeas and blitz half in a food processor with the fruit and nuts, garam masala and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then crack in the egg, add the mince and pulse until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal-sized pieces on a piece of greaseproof, shape into koftas (about 20cm in length), and use your fingertips to leave dents in the surface to increase the gnarly bits as they cook.
- Lay them across an oiled tray and grill for 10 minutes, or until golden, gnarly and cooked through, turning halfway, then remove to a board to rest.
- For the flatbreads, pile the flour onto a clean work surface, make a well in the centre, add a pinch of salt, 150ml of water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use a fork to bring it together, then knead into a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll into even-sized rounds (around 18-20cm) on a flour-dusted surface, cover with a clean damp tea towel and put aside while you make the chopped salad.
- Prep the mixed crunchy veg, then finely chop it all on a large board. Make a well in the middle, add the mustard and vinegar, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and mix together. Toss the salad into the dressing, then taste and season to perfection.
- Ripple the yoghurt with the chilli oil in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat and cook the flatbreads one at a time for 2 minutes, until puffed up and golden, turning halfway and stacking them up in a tea towel as you go to keep warm.
- When you’re ready to eat, transfer the chopped salad to a serving platter (or keep it on the large board, if you like). Scatter over the remaining chickpeas, sprinkle with a pinch of garam masala and tear over the mint leaves. Lay over the kebabs, dollop over the chilli-rippled yoghurt, scatter over the reserved baby mint leaves and serve with the warm flatbreads.
