Meat-free Monday: Harissa mushroom wrap with tzatziki
These harissa mushroom wraps combine smoky spice, beetroot hummus and cool plant tzatziki for a easy plant-based meal.
Meat-Free Monday calls for easy dishes you can pull together without spending ages in the kitchen. These mushroom wraps are simple to make and full of flavour. Harissa, a North African chilli paste, gives the filling a gentle kick. It’s known for its smoky warmth and depth, and when tossed with mushrooms and air-fried, it caramelises at the edges, leaving you with crisp, golden bits on the outside and tender centres inside. Recipe compliments of Instant Pot.
