This week’s recipe is light, versatile and can be consumed warm or cold. It will fit in any school lunch box and all the dairy components can be easy removed to turn this little beauty into a vegan dish. Personally, I like to have it as a cold dinner accompanied with crispy lettuce leaves, yoghurt, tomato salad and bottle of beer.
I encourage you to playful with my recipes. By removing chickpeas and yoghurt this dish can be served as paleo and grain-free. I love the different textures, flavours and colours in this ultimate healthy fast food and a perfect kids school lunch. For all the meat eaters out there, the tofu can be simply replaced with a chicken mince.
