Coronation Chickpea Piadina Flatbreads

Made with 100% durum wheat, Crosta Mollica golden flatbreads are a delicious twist on the classic street food speciality from the Emilia-Romagna region. This vegetarian twist on coronation chicken swaps in protein-rich chickpeas for a satisfying alternative. Tossed in a creamy coronation-style dressing with spinach folded through for freshness. A scattering of toasted almonds, crisp cucumber and tangy pickled red onions add the finishing touch. Optional sultanas or red grapes can be folded through the coronation chickpea mix also. For a lighter dressing we’re pairing crème fraîche with mayonnaise, you could also use Greek yoghurt.

Ingredients

  • red grapes 80 g (sliced)
  • mayonnaise 80 g
  • crème fraîche 80 g
  • mild curry powder 1 tbsp

Method

Prep the coronation chickpeas

  • Slice the red grapes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, crème fraîche, mild curry powder, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, and mango chutney.
  • For a combination of textures we like to crush some of the chickpeas and leave the rest whole. Add the chickpeas to the dressing.
  • Stir through the red grapes then season the mix to taste with salt and black pepper.

Prep the rest of the ingredients

  • For the pickled red onion - thinly slice the red onion and add it to a bowl, sprinkle over the white wine vinegar with a pinch of salt. Massage the vinegar into the onion slices then set it aside to pickle, you can also add a pinch of sugar if you like for a touch of sweetness.
  • Dice the cucumber.
  • Toast the almonds in a small dry frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes until golden.

Assemble & Plate Up

  • Place a Crosta Mollica piadina in a hot dry frying pan for 1 minute on each side.
  • Then layer the toppings - add the spinach, coronation chickpeas, pickled red onion, cucumber and almonds. Repeat until all the piadina are assembled.
  • Fold and serve.
