Ingredients

  • 200g block tempeh , cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 400g can chickpeas , drained
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp madras curry powder
  • 150g spinach
  • 1/4 lemon
  • 4 tbsp sweet chilli jam
  • 4 wraps

Method

  1. Bring a large pan of slightly salted water to a boil, then add the tempeh. Boil for 15-20 mins until softened. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.

  2. Meanwhile, mix together the soy sauce, sesame oil and honey or maple syrup in a large bowl. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Coat the tempeh in the marinade and tip out onto a baking tray. Cook for 15-20 mins until the marinade starts to caramelise.

  3. Meanwhile, set a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Put the chickpeas, turmeric, cumin and curry powder in the pan, along with a generous splash of water. Mash the chickpeas slightly using a fork or potato masher to create a thick dhal consistency, adding more water if needed. Season to taste, then remove from the heat and set aside.

  4. Put the spinach in a large, microwave-safe bowl with a squeeze of lemon juice, microwaving for about 1-2 mins until wilted.

  5. Once the tempeh is cooked, you can form the wraps. Spread some sweet chilli jam three-quarters of the way along the middle of the wrap. Top each wrap with the with the dhal, a handful of wilted spinach and a handful of the tempeh, then roll the wrap up tightly, repeating with the remaining three.

  6. Toast the wraps in a dry frying pan for 3-4 mins on each side, then wrap in foil and store in the fridge or freezer, reheating when ready to serve. Will keep frozen for up to three months. Reheat in a low oven or in the microwave in short blasts.
