Barbecue grilling enhances vegetables with a savory charred flavor, complementing this Middle Eastern-inspired dish perfectly!
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm olive oil
  • 600g Kent pumpkin, seeded, cut into thin wedges
  • 2.50 gm ground cumin
  • 1.25 gm smoked paprika
  • 1 large red capsicum, seeded, thickly sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges
  • 80g baby spinach leaves
  • 400g can chickpeas, rinsed, drained
  • 187.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 42.00 gm lemon juice
  • 95g yoghurt
  • 40.00 ml pistachio dukkah
Instructions:
  • Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill to medium-high. Mix oil and garlic in a small bowl. Brush pumpkin with half of the oil mixture. Sprinkle with cumin and paprika.
  • In a bowl, combine capsicum and onion. Pour in the remaining oil mixture and toss gently to coat them. Season with your favorite spices. Cook the vegetables in batches, turning occasionally, for 4-5 minutes until they are lightly charred and tender.
  • Layer fresh spinach leaves elegantly on a platter, then generously sprinkle with chickpeas. Arrange a colorful assortment of fresh vegetables and sprinkle with fresh coriander. Finish by drizzling with tangy lemon juice, adding dollops of creamy yogurt, and a final touch of fragrant dukkah.
