Ingredients

  • Yogurt: 150g tub low-fat natural yogurt
  • Coriander: 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Onion: 1 onion, chopped
  • Chickpea: 410g can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • Cauliflower: 1 small cauliflower, cut into small florets
  • Spinach: 50g baby spinach leaves
  • Tomato Sauce: 400g jar arrabbiata tomato sauce (we used Loyd Grossman)
  • Pancake: 8 pancakes (see recipe link below)

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Wrap the pancakes in foil and warm them through in the oven for 10 mins. Alternatively, wrap and reheat in the microwave on medium for 2-3 mins.
  2. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the onion and fry for 5 mins until softened. Tip in the cauliflower florets and fry briefly until they take on a little colour. Splash in 5 tbsp water, cover the pan and cook for 5 mins until the cauliflower is just tender.
  3. Stir the chickpeas into the pan with the arrabbiata sauce and bring to the boil. Simmer for 2-3 mins, then stir in the coriander and remove from the heat.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and put on the table with the warm pancakes, yogurt and spinach leaves. Let everyone put a few spinach leaves in the centre of each pancake, spoon the filling over and top with a little yogurt. The sides can then be folded into the middle and the pancakes eaten with a knife and fork.
