PREPARATION
- To make the tabbouleh place the parsley, mint, ripe tomatoes and spring onion into a food processor and blitz until you have a fairly smooth mixture. Transfer it to a bowl and stir in the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Leave it to one side.
- To make the hummus simply add all the ingredients to a food processor and blitz until smooth and creamy. Add a few tablespoons of water to loosen up the consistency and blitz again.
- Add the oil to a frying pan on a medium heat. Add in the Veggie Day Shawarma pieces and pan fry them for 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
- Assemble your platter by placing the Veggie Day Shawarma pieces in the middle, add the salads, flat-bread and veggies on the side and serve the tabbouleh and hummus in small bowls.
