Cooking Instructions and Tips

Make your Chicken Shawarma
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Soak your skewers in cold water to prevent them from burning.

Cut the chicken thighs into 2cm chunks, then add them to a medium bowl and stir in half the harissa paste. Season with salt and pepper.

Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers (2 per person). Transfer the skewers to one side of a lightly oiled large baking tray. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest and cut the lemon into wedges.

Form the Koftas
2

Spread the chips on another large baking tray in a single layer. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

When the oven is hot, bake the chips on the middle shelf, 30-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the garlic, breadcrumbs, the salt (see pantry for amount) and half the remaining harissa, then add the lamb mince. Season with pepper and mix together with your hands.

Shape into mini sausage shapes, 4 per person. Flatten to make koftas. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Time to Bake
3

Pop the koftas onto the other side of the chicken baking tray.

When the chips have been baking for 15 mins, bake the skewers and koftas on the top shelf until cooked through, 12-16 mins.

Turn halfway through. IMPORTANT: The chicken and koftas are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Dress the Tomatoes
4

While everything bakes, clean the medium bowl used for the chicken. Halve the baby plum tomatoes.

In the (now clean) bowl, mix together a good squeeze of lemon juice, the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper. Stir the tomatoes into the dressing.

In a separate small bowl, mix together the yoghurt, lemon zest and remaining harissa. Season with salt and pepper.

Set both aside for now. Use any free time to do some washing up.

Flatbread and Falafel Time
5

Just before everything's ready, pop the flatbreads (1 per person) into the oven until warm and starting to turn golden, 3-4 mins.

Place the falafels on a plate and microwave, 800W: 75 secs / 900W: 45 secs / 1000W: 30 secs.

If you don't have a microwave, place the falafels onto a baking tray and bake in the oven until golden brown, 5-8 mins.

Spread half the harissa yoghurt onto the warmed flatbreads.

Serve your Feast
6

When everything's ready, spoon the houmous onto the bottom of a serving dish and top with the falafels. Drizzle over half the red pepper chilli jelly.

Top the harissa flatbreads with the lamb koftas and some baby leaves. Drizzle over the remaining harissa yoghurt. Lay the chicken shawarma onto another serving plate and drizzle over the remaining red pepper chilli jelly.

Mix the remaining baby leaves with the lemon dressing and tomatoes. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, then serve alongside the chips and the remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Share and tuck in.

Enjoy!
