  • 3 tbsp Al’Fez shawarma paste / shawarma kebab paste marinade
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 500g mixed mushrooms, halved if large
  • 2 flatbreads
  • 6 tbsp smoked houmous
  • 6 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 4cm piece cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 10g flat-leaf parsley

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Spoon the shawarma paste into a large mixing bowl and mix with 2 tsp of the oil. Tip in the mushrooms and, using your hands, mix together until evenly coated. Thread the mushrooms on to 2 or 4 skewers, depending on the size of your frying pan.

  2. Step 2

    Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the skewers to the pan and fry for 10 mins, squashing down and turning regularly until lightly charred and cooked through.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, heat the flatbreads to packet instructions and transfer to a serving board or plates.

  4. Step 4

    Spread the houmous between the flatbreads then top with the mushrooms.

  5. Step 5

    Scatter with radishes, cucumber, flat-leaf parsley, coriander and sumac, then drizzle with tahini and chilli sauce, if using, to serve.
