Miguel’s mushroom & haloumi flatbreads

-

Fire up the barbecue for the celeb chef’s crowd-pleasing recipe

SERVES 8 Place 500g selfraisin­g flour in a mixing bowl, make a well in centre and add 500g Greek yoghurt. Mix together until ingredient­s form a dough. If dough is too dry, add more yoghurt; if it’s too wet, add more flour. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, leaves from 6 stems fresh thyme and 4 stems fresh rosemary, and a splash of olive oil to dough and mix lightly with your hands. Sprinkle workbench with flour, place dough on top and knead with your hands until it becomes a smooth ball, being careful not to overwork the dough. Divide dough into 8 equal portions and, using a rolling pin, roll dough into flat, long ovals – you want it thin, but not so thin that you can’t pick it up! Leave to rest on workbench. Cut 2-3 flat mushrooms and a 180g pack haloumi into thick slices, just under 1cm. Score mushroom slices on both sides with shallow, diagonal lines that form a crisscross pattern, taking care not to cut through the mushroom. Add mushroom and haloumi to a bowl with 2-3 tbsp olive oil, extra thyme leaves and 4 minced garlic cloves. Mix well, leave to marinate. Heat barbecue to medium. Brush one side of flatbreads with olive oil and grill oil side down for 4 mins or until grill marks appear on underside. Cook mushroom and haloumi mix on the other side of the barbecue for 4 mins, turning halfway through. When one side of the flatbreads are cooked, turn over and sprinkle with 100g grated mozzarella, divided among the flatbreads. Top with mushroom and haloumi slices, alternatin­g between the two. Dress with fresh thyme leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Remove flatbreads from barbecue, slice and serve on a board with hummus, pesto or baba ganoush.
