Ingredients

  • Courgette: 1 courgette, trimmed and thinly sliced lengthways
  • Harissa Paste: 2 tsp harissa paste
  • Olive Oil: 2 tsp olive oil
  • Broad Bean: small handful broad beans (fresh or frozen)
  • Hummus: 2 tbsp hummus
  • Spring Onion: 1 spring onion, finely sliced
  • Tahini Paste: 1 tsp tahini paste
  • Garlic Clove: small garlic clove, crushed
  • Lemon Juice: squeeze lemon juice
  • Yogurt: 1 tbsp Greek-style yogurt
  • Pitta Bread: 1 large wholemeal pitta bread

Directions

  1. Toss the courgette slices in the harissa and olive oil, and season. Cook on a hot griddle pan for 2 mins each side or until tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Cook the broad beans in boiling water for 2 mins, drain under cold running water, then slip them out of their outer skins. Discard the skins. Put the broad beans, hummus and spring onion in a small bowl and mix to combine.
  3. In another bowl, mix the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and yogurt. Toast the pitta and split it to create 2 pockets. Spoon the hummus mix inside each pocket, followed by the spicy courgette slices and a drizzle of the yogurt mixture.
