Jackfruit shawarma

Amanda Logan

A sensational plant-based take on the traditional Middle Eastern wrap, this jackfruit and chickpea creation is juicy, filling and delicious, while being healthy, sustainable and animal-friendly, too!

lunchsnack
gluten-free optionlunch box ideas

Ingredients

Makes 6

SHAWARMA ‘MEAT’

LEMON TAHINI SAUCE

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Drain the jackfruit and thinly slice each piece lengthways, then place in a large bowl. Add the remaining shawarma ‘meat’ ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight to marinate, or for at least 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  3. Remove the marinated shawarma ‘meat’ from the fridge and spread out on a baking tray. Roast for 35–40 minutes or until some of the jackfruit edges begin to char slightly. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  4. To make the lemon tahini sauce, blend all the sauce ingredients with 3–4 tbsp of water, until smooth. Add a little more water if needed.
  5. To assemble the shawarma, first warm each pita in a dry frying pan over a medium heat for a minute or two, turning halfway through. Place each pita on a plate and smear with a good dollop of hummus. Add sliced lettuce and tomato followed by the shawarma ‘meat’. Add pickles, if using, and then drizzle over the lemon tahini sauce. Fold the bottom of the pita up and then roll to make a wrap, and dig in!

Dauphinoise potatoes

Amanda Logan

This vegan take on dauphinoise potatoes hits the spot every time, and is sure to impress as part of any spread.

dinnerlunchside dish
entertaininggluten-free option
french

Ingredients

SERVES: 8

Method

  1. Cover the cashews with water in a bowl and soak overnight. Drain the following day and add to a blender along with the milk. Blend until smooth. 
  2. Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and stir in the sliced shallots, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt, bay leaves, nutmeg, sage, thyme, and pepper. Place the pan over low to medium heat and bring to a simmer. 
  3. Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the sliced potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring gently but regularly, making sure the potatoes don’t stick to the bottom. 
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C.  
  5. Remove the bay leaves from the potato mixture and discard. Transfer the potato mixture to a 1½ litre oven-proof dish and cover with foil. Bake in the oven for 45-minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle the vegan cheese on top, then bake uncovered for another 40 minutes, or until cooked through and golden on top. Serve hot, with a few extra sage leaves to garnish, if you like.

TIP: If you haven’t had a chance to pre-soak the cashews, no stress! You can ‘cheat’ by simmering them for about 15 minutes instead.
