Smoked Chilli hummus & harissa chicken flatbread

These flatbreads come together in just a few simple steps and, if you have the time, it’s well worth making your own two-ingredient version from scratch. Top them with a generous helping of smoky, creamy hummus that’s so good you could eat it by the ladleful! Then pile on the harissa chicken for a lovely kick of heat, perfectly balanced by tangy pickled onions and a fresh kefir yoghurt and dill drizzle.

Equipment Needed

Baking dish, chopping board, sharp knife, spoon, measuring scales, mixing bowl, blender, juicer, rolling pin, frying pan

Ingredients

For the flatbreads:

  • 75g self raising flour
  • 75g Greek yoghurt
  • Pinch sea salt

For the Smoked Chilli PB Hummus:

  • 1 x 400g tin chickpeas, drained (reserve a few tablespoons of the liquid)
  • 5 tbsp Smoked Chilli Peanut Butter
  • 1 garlic clove
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2-4 tbsp cold water or reserved chickpea liquid
  • Black pepper

For the flatbread toppings:

  • 2 x chicken breasts
  • 4 tbsps Harissa paste
  • Handful plum tomatoes
  • Pickled red onions
  • 4 tbsps plain kefir yoghurt
  • Few sprigs dill

Method

1.) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan. Slice the plum tomatoes and pop them into a baking dish. Cut the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces, add them to the dish and coat everything in the harissa paste. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

2.) While the chicken is cooking, make the flatbread dough. Add the flour, Greek yoghurt and sea salt to a mixing bowl and mix everything together until it forms a dough, then bring it into a ball. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes while you prepare the hummus.

3.) Drain the chickpeas, keeping the liquid to one side for later. Add the chickpeas to a food processor along with the Smoked Chilli PB, garlic, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy and with the motor running, slowly add a little water or reserved chickpea liquid until the hummus reaches your preferred consistency. Give it a taste and adjust as needed with an extra squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and pepper, or a little more Smoked Chilli PB. Set aside until you're ready to serve.

4.) Lightly flour a clean work surface and divide the dough into two equal sized balls. Using a rolling pin, roll each ball out into a flatbread.

5.) Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Cook each flatbread for around 1-2 minutes on one side, until golden brown spots start to appear, then flip and cook the other side. Set aside while you get everything ready to serve.

6.) Place a flatbread on each plate and spread over a generous helping of your Smoked Chilli PB hummus. Top with the harissa chicken and roasted tomatoes, followed by a handful of pickled onions. Mix a few sprigs of fresh dill into the kefir yoghurt, then drizzle generously over the top. Finish with a few extra sprigs of dill and get stuck in!

Recipe Notes

Any leftover hummus will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container - if you can resist eating it all in one sitting!
