Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, crushed

1 onion, chopped

2 red chillies, chopped

1tbsp chipotle chilli paste

3tbsp Aspall Classic White Wine Vinegar

1tsp ground cumin

1tsp dried oregano

200ml pineapple juice

8 Grower’s Selection Jumbo Mushrooms, halved

1 large red onion, quartered, with the layers separated

1tbsp rapeseed oil, plus extra for greasing

4 vegan chapattis

200g Asda Jalapeño Houmous

1 Little Gem lettuce, shredded

½ cucumber, chopped

50g pickled jalapeños, drained

200g pickled red cabbage, drained

50g whole unsalted almonds

Mint leaves, to serve

Method

1
Blend garlic, onions, chillis, chipotle paste, white wine vinegar, ground cumin, dried oregano and pineapple juice until smooth.
2
Toss through jumbo mushrooms and red onion. Set aside to marinate for at least 2hrs, or ideally overnight.
3
Preheat the grill on high. Cover a large baking tray with foil and lightly grease with a little rapeseed oil.
4
Thread the mushrooms and red onion onto 2 long skewers, pushing tightly together. (If using wood or bamboo skewers, pre-soak in water for 30 mins so they don’t burn.) Arrange on the baking tray and drizzle with 1tbsp rapeseed oil.
5
Put the tray on the second-top shelf of the oven under the grill and cook for 20 mins, turning occasionally, until charred. Remove from the oven, drain off any juices and allow to rest for 5 mins.
6
With a large fork, push the grilled mushrooms and onions onto the skewer, packing them down tightly.
7
With a sharp, serrated knife, carve off strips of mushroom and onion from the sides. Take care as the skewer may be hot.
8
Grill the chapattis until slightly charred, then spread with with the houmous.
9
Toss the lettuce, cucumber, jalapeños, red cabbage and almonds together. Divide the mixture between the chapattis.
10
Top with the carved slices from the mushroom and onion kebab. Finish with a sprinkling of mint leaves, to serve.
