Squash & Chickpea Fattoush With Crispy Pitta Chips

Ingredients

Butternut Squash500 g
Drained Cooked Chickpeas240 g
Ground Coriander1 tbsp
Pitta3
Cucumber1
Sumac1 tbsp
Feta100 g
Mixed Herb100 g
Green Chilli 1

Method

1

Heat the oven to 200°C. Peel the squash then slice in half vertically and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds. Slice into 1-2cm half moons and add to a large baking tray. Drain the chickpeas and add to the tray. Add the ground coriander and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Season well and slide into the oven and cook for 30- 40 mins, until caramelised and charred in places.

2

Cut the pittas into triangles and spread out on a separate baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season well, then slide into the oven for 10 mins, then remove and set aside.

3

Meanwhile, make the dressing by blitzing three-quarters of the herbs, green chillli, Dijon mustard and honey together. Add the lemon juice along with enough olive oil to make the sauce a drizzle-able consistency. Add a splash of water to loosen, taste and season well, then set aside.

4

Take the cucumber and slice in half lengthways, then use a spoon to scrape the seeds out from the middle. Lie flat and slice on an angle and set aside.

5

Remove the chickpeas and squash from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 mins. Add the remaining herbs to the tray along with the sumac and toss well. Add the pitta chips along with a drizzle of olive oil. Toss then pile into bowls or on a platter. Snuggle the cucumber in. Top with the green dressing, then finish with feta cheese and a crack of black pepper.
