Lettuce shawarma with crispy chickpeas

Humanity witnessed the birth of shawarma during the sixth crusade in the Middle East. In this context, the soldiers began roasting lamb meat on their swords and plates were replaced by bread. Since then, it has become a dish known throughout the world and adapted in many variations – even vegetarian variants like today! Our protein comes from the toasted chickpeas and we replace the bread with a leaf of romaine lettuce. We complement the dish with bulgur and vegetables.#Vegan

The bulgur:

In a pot, place bulgur and water (two cups of water for each cup of bulgur). Add a pinch of salt and put the lid on.
Bring to a boil. When it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a minimum and let it boil until the bulgur has absorbed the water. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit with the lid on. 

The chickpeas:

Drain and rinse chickpeas. Distribute them on a baking tray. Add half of the spice mix, a dash of oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake 20 min approx. until “crunchy”.
Stir occasionally. It’s normal that some of them explode! 

Mise en place:

Chop garlic and parsley.
Cut onion into julienne.
Chop tomato.
Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan and sauté garlic, half of the onion and tomato. When it has softened, add the rest of the spices and bulgur. Stir well and set aside.

The dressing:

Squeeze lemon.
Mix yogurt with lemon juice, a dash of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  

Your meal:

In lettuce leaves place bulgur filling and decorate with raw onion, parsley and yogurt dressing.
