Instructions

WALNUT CRUMBLE:

  1. To make the walnut crumble, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When hot, reduce the heat to low, add sliced garlic and jalapeño, and cook, stirring until the garlic is golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
  2. Add the cooked lentils to the pan along with the cumin and za’atar. Season with salt and stir to coat. Turn the heat back up to high and, stirring occasionally, until crispy and popping, 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Lower the heat to medium-high, add the walnuts and the additional 2 teaspoons oil, and stir to coat. Cook for a minute or two more, until the walnuts are incorporated and warmed through.
  4.  Add the parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice and stir to combine.

SPICED YOGURT:

  1. To make the spiced yogurt, mix together all the ingredients in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning.

FOR ASSEMBLY:

  1. To assemble, spread a flatbread with hummus, if using, then smear with the spiced yogurt.
  2. Top with a handful of arugula, sliced roasted red peppers, and any pickles of your choosing. Spoon the walnut crumble over top. Fold up and eat.
