So Live Free & Eat Happy!

  • 660g jar of chickpeas or tinned drained and rinsed
  • 2 tsp Baharat spice mix
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 1 large garlic clove minced
  • Salt and pepper
  • Small bunch roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 tbs light oil
Tahini Yogurt Sauce
  • 1/8 cup tahini paste
  • 1/8 cup plant-based unsweetened yogurt
  • ½ garlic clove minced
  • Juice ½ lemon
  • ¼ cup of water
  • 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp Salt and pepper to taste
To Serve
  • 1-2 tbs Zaatar herb mix
  • 1 packet BFree Pita Breads
  • Salad Leaves (optional)
1

In a frying pan add the onions, peppers and light oil. Cook on a medium heat until the onions are soft and lightly golden and the peppers have softened. Avoid burning the onions (and crying).

2

Add the spices and garlic and stir to combine, cook for a further minute or two.

3

Finally add the chickpeas and stir gentle to coat in the onion and spice mix. Season with 1 tsp of salt and a good grind of freshly black pepper.

4

Keep the chickpeas on a low heat to warm through while you make the tahini sauce.

5

In a bowl add all the tahini yoghurt sauce ingredients except the water.

6

Whisk together, it will form a thick maybe stiff paste. Gradually add water, whisking in between until you reach the desired consistency. Something like double cream. Taste for seasoning, add more salt or lemon juice if required.

7

When you’re ready to serve, lightly toast the pita and stuff with the chickpeas. Drizzle with a little tahini sauce and sprinkle with Zaatar.

8

Salad leaves make a nice addition.

I just tried the new BFree Oat Loaf and was so pleasantly surprised. It is the first bread I have had in the 10 years of being Celiac that actually taste like real bread. The crust is tender and the chew is very nice. I ate a turkey sandwich without toasting or warming it. This bread is amazing. Then I tried it as toast with butter and was just as happy. This is my new favorite bread. It’s actually my favorite bread because other breads have only been tolerable 😄

Just wanted to say how much we love BFree products in our household. Having celiacs, and finding amazing products that make everyone happy has been so wonderful. We recently tried your sourdough and we were so impressed. Cannot wait to try more new products you have!

They’re expensive, but taste very good. My son is allergic to a lot of stuff and he loves these. I tried them and they’re really good, given that they are free from most common allergens.

Hooray for gluten-free and egg-free bagels! I was thrilled to find gluten free bread that does not contain egg or egg whites. These bagels are very good. I will definitely buy again!
