CHAR THE CORN
Place a pan over a high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the corn until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan on completion and set aside in a bowl.
CRUNCHY CHICKPEAS
Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, toast the drained chickpeas until golden and crispy, 12-15 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and season.
FILLINGS FOR YOU
Place the diced onion and cucumber in the bowl of charred corn. Add ½ the chopped parsley, ¾ of the pickling liquid, the sliced chilli (to taste), a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Set aside to pickle. In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the remaining pickling liquid (to taste), the remaining parsley, and seasoning. If it’s too thick for your liking, loosen with milk or water in 5ml increments. Set aside. Toss the rinsed green leaves with a drizzle of oil and seasoning.
HEATING UP
When the chickpeas are nearing completion, place a second pan over a medium-high heat. When hot, toast each roti until warmed through, 30-60 seconds per side. Alternatively, spread them out on a plate in a single layer and heat up in the microwave, 30-60 seconds.
FRY THE HALLOUMI
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halloumi slabs until crispy and golden, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove on completion and allow to drain on some paper towel. Try not to eat it all before serving!
AND THAT’S A WRAP!
Lay out the rotis and smear generously with the parsley cottage cheese. Pile the leaves, toasted chickpeas, and halloumi slabs in the centre and top with the corn salsa. Garnish with any remaining fresh chilli if you’re feeling spicy! Fold ’em up and dig in.
