Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Prepare the squash by halving it, scooping out the seeds, then cutting into 1cm-thick slices. Put in a large bowl with the olive oil, smoked paprika and a pinch of salt. Toss well to coat the squash, then lay on a baking tray and bake at 180C/160C fan/gas 4 for about 40 mins until soft and starting to brown on the surface.

  • step 2

    For the chilli jam, grate the beetroot (wear gloves to prevent staining your hands) and put in a saucepan with the sugar, vinegar, chilli flakes, cumin seeds and salt to taste. Cook for a few minutes over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  • step 3

    To make the flatbreads, tip the flour into a bowl and add 150g yogurt, or up to 200g if the dough looks too dry, then mix using a cutlery knife until it comes together into a ball. Tip the dough onto a work surface and knead for 2 mins until smooth. Split into four balls, then dust the work surface with flour and roll each into a large flatbread (or make eight mini ones). Dry-fry the flatbreads in a frying pan on medium heat for a couple of minutes on each side.

  • step 4

    Just before serving, cut the halloumi into 8 thin slices. Cook in a frying pan for a couple of minutes on each side. Layer the spinach, squash and halloumi on the flatbreads, then drizzle with the beetroot chilli jam to serve.

RECIPE TIPS

FOR LESS SPICE

Serve with a minty sauce instead. Just mix some yogurt with ½ tsp mint sauce.

AVOID FOOD WASTE

Roast the squash seeds in the oven with some salt and smoked paprika to sprinkle over salads and soups.

Beetroot jam is great. Flatbreads were a bit dry and didn’t puff up - would use more yoghurt or a different recipe next time

Went down a treat when I cooked it for my family yesterday (admittedly though I did not make the flat bread, used a garlic and coriander one from Aldi and heated it on the stove). The beetroot jam especially was very popular, will definitely be making more of that.

I tried this recipe tonight and it was super yummy. I didn't prepare the bread myself though and I used a pack of Greek flatbread and a pack of roti, they were both a good combo. I will definitely have it again.

I would like to make this for a lunch with friends. Can you make the dough in advance and then cook when ready to eat? Is there an easy way to keep the flatbreads warm if cooking for a crowd. May thanks.

Hi, thanks for your question. As this uses self-raising flour, rather than yeast, you can't really make the dough very far in advance. We'd recommend cooking the flatbreads in advance instead and reheating when ready to serve. You can pop them into the oven on a baking tray to warm through for about…

The chilli beetroot jam is simply gorgeous! I prepared a bigger batch, and I still need to make more - it's not going to be enough... My advice: take care of the chili - depends on the type of chili you use. My home-grew Hungarian chili was a bit too strong, while I added only third of the advised…
