Ingredients
 
 

Pitta Nachos:

  • 4 pitta bread (gluten free, if required)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Smokey Spiced Jackfruit

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 300 g jackfruit (drained and trimmed weight (*see notes))
  • 2 tsp cumin (ground)
  • 2 tsp coriander (ground)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp tamari (gluten free, if required (sub: soy sauce))

Creamy Tahini Sauce:

  • 125 g coconut yoghurt (unsweetened (sub soya yoghurt))
  • 1 tsp garlic (fresh)
  • 1.5 tbsp tahini (runny)
  • 2 tsp lime juice
  • ¼ tsp salt

To serve:

  • 2 tbsp pine nuts (toasted)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (roughly chopped)
  • 80 g pomegranate seeds
  • 4 tbsp Muhammara Red Pepper Dip (To serve (**see notes))

Instructions
 

  • Make the muhammara dip by following our recipe on the blog. This can be made the day before if needed and stored in the fridge. If you're in a time crunch, you can sub the muhammara for shop-bought houmous.
    4 tbsp Muhammara Red Pepper Dip

To make the pitta nachos:

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan (200°C conventional / 400°F / gas mark 6).
  • Cut the pitta bread into large triangles and split the two layers apart so that they're thinner. Lay them out flat on a large tray so they are not overlapping (you will likely need two trays).
    4 pitta bread
  • Brush the pitta nachos with olive oil and lightly season with salt and pepper.
    2 tbsp olive oil
  • Bake for 7-10 minutes until crisp. Keep an eye on the thinner chips as they bake, since the thinner ones will be ready sooner than the thicker ones.

To make the spiced jackfruit:

  • Add all of the spiced jackfruit ingredients to a non-stick frying pan. Stir together until the jackfruit is evenly coated, and then fry for 10-15 minutes.
    2 tbsp olive oil, 300 g jackfruit, 2 tsp cumin, 2 tsp coriander, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 tbsp tamari

To make the tahini sauce:

  • Add all of the tahini sauce ingredients to a blender and blitz until smooth. Alternatively, add to a medium bowl and stir vigorously until smooth.
    125 g coconut yoghurt, 1 tsp garlic, 1.5 tbsp tahini, 2 tsp lime juice, 1/4 tsp salt

To serve:

  • Lightly toast the pine nuts in a small, dry frying pan (without oil) for 3-5 minutes over medium heat until they start to turn lightly golden.
  • Add a layer of freshly toasted pitta nachos to two shallow bowls.
  • Top with warm spiced jackfruit, a drizzle of tahini-yoghurt sauce and a sprinkling of toasted pine nuts, pomegranate seeds and fresh parsley. Serve with a side of muhammara roasted red pepper dip.
    2 tbsp pine nuts, 2 tbsp fresh parsley, 80 g pomegranate seeds, 4 tbsp Muhammara Red Pepper Dip
