Wraps with sesame falafel and mint yoghurt

Dukkah wraps with sesame falafel and mint yoghurt

Serves 4-6

Tiny but very potent in the health department, sesame seeds contain more cholesterol-lowering phytosterols than any other seed or nut. They are rich in minerals such as iron, copper, selenium and magnesium, and they're a good source of calcium. 

100g whole-wheat flour

100g cake flour

2t dukkah*

1T sesame seeds plus extra

2T olive oil

400g tinned chickpeas, drained 

1 onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2t ground cumin

2t ground coriander

¼ cup chopped parsley

1t chilli powder

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mint yoghurt

½ cup Greek yoghurt

1T chopped fresh mint

1 clove garlic, crushed

Mix the flour, dukkah, seeds and 1T olive oil together and add enough water to form a firm dough.

Divide into six and roll out thinly. Cook in a very hot, dry pan until golden. Keep warm.

Pulse the chickpeas, onion, garlic, spices, parsley, and chilli and 1T olive oil in a food processor until fine. Shape into small balls or patties and roll in sesame seeds. Drizzle with oil and fry in hot oil or grill until golden.

For the dressing, mix all the ingredients together and season well. Serve the flatbreads with the falafel, salad leaves, sprouts and drizzled with the dressing.

Shortcut Buy whole-wheat wraps, brush lightly with sesame oil and rub with dukkah before using.
