  1. GET THE CHICKPEAS IN THE OVEN

    Preheat the oven to 180°C. Boil the kettle for step 2. Place the drained chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and the One For All Rub. Spread out in a single layer and roast in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes until crispy and caramel in colour.

  2. PICKLED SLAW & MAGIC FALAFEL

    Submerge the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until heated. Drain and place in a bowl with ½ of the cabbage and carrot. Add in the pickling liquid, 1 tbsp of water, and seasoning. Toss to coat and set aside to pickle. Place the falafel mix in a bowl with ½ of the coriander pesto, a pinch of salt, and 100ml of boiling water. Mix well, but not for longer than about 30 seconds. Cover and set aside to rehydrate for at least 10 minutes. Loosen the remaining coriander pesto with 10ml of olive oil. Season to taste and set aside for serving.

  3. A FLASH IN THE PAN

    Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, flash fry the remaining cabbage and carrot for 1-2 minutes until slightly wilted but still crunchy. Transfer to a bowl on completion, cover to keep warm, and set aside. Drain the pickling liquid from the slaw and reserve. Combine the tahini in a bowl with the pickling liquid, jalapeño relish and seasoning – all to taste. If it’s too thick, loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency.

  4. SIZZLE THE PATTIES

    Roll the falafel mixture into 4-5 small balls and gently flatten to form mini patties. Return the pan to a medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy, turning when they start to brown. Remove on completion and drain on paper towel. Halve when cool enough to handle.

  5. NEARLY THERE...

    Wipe down the pan and return it to a medium heat. When hot, dry toast the tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds per side until lightly golden. Remove from the pan on completion.

  6. THAT’S A WRAP, CHEF!

    Smear the remaining coriander pesto across the tortillas and pile up the fried cabbage and carrot in the centre. Top with the spiced falafels, pickled slaw, and roast chickpeas. Finish with drizzles of tahini-chilli dressing and sprinklings of chopped mint. Fold up and eat up!
