Instructions

Spiced Roasted Butterbeans

  • Preheat oven to 180C/160C Fan

  • Combine the beans with the oil mixture, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  • Transfer onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and spread out evenly.
  • Roast for 35 – 40 minutes until they have a nice crispy exterior.

Edamame, Mint and Chilli Puree

  • Place the frozen edamame in a small saucepan and cover with water. Place the saucepan over a medium heat and bring to a gentle boil for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat and drain the edamame.
  • Place the edamame in a food processor and pulse until chunky, then add the tahini, lime juice, olive oil garlic jalapeño, mint, spring onion/scallion, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste and blend until a smooth puree is formed, stopping the machine as necessary to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
  • If the mixture needs loosening, add some iced water as necessary.
  • Check for seasoning and adjust if necessary.

Fresh Garden Peas

  • Bring a pan of water to a boil, add peas and cook for 3 minutes
  • Whilst the peas are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Once cooked, drain the peas and add them to the bowl of ice water until needed.

Tahini Sauce

  • In a small bowl, stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic and salt.
  • Add honey or maple syrup to balance the flavour and add a little water if needed.

Chilli Sauce

  • Wash the chillies, patting them dry with a paper towel.
  • Cut the off the stems and roughly chop the chillies, keeping the seeds.
  • Add the chillies and the rest of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blitz into a sauce.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  • Transfer the sauce to a sterilised jar and store in the fridge for use as required. This can be kept in the fridge for up to one month.

Chickpea and Turmeric Tortillas

  • Add chickpea flour, tapioca flour, turmeric and sea salt to a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  • Add the filtered water and whisk until smooth. The texture should be thin like a pancake batter. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon until the right consistency is gained.
  • Heat a skillet over a medium heat.
  • Pour a ladle of batter into the pan (to make a small taco sized tortilla) moving the pan in a circular motion to spread the mixture evenly across the pan to create a larger circle.
  • Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown and repeat for desired amount.
  • Top each tortilla with the edamame puree, roasted butterbeans, peas, tahini dressing, chilli sauce, a sprinkle of mixed seeds (optional) and some fresh herbs and serve with a wedge of lemon or lime.
