These air-fryer tofu flatbreads include homemade toum – a trending Lebanese garlic dip that’s creamy, punchy and totally addictive. It’s traditionally made by emulsifying garlic, oil and lemon juice. We’ve added a splash of aquafaba (the liquid from a tin of chickpeas) to help stabilise the mix and make this sauce much more foolproof. This is quick, easy and delicious Lebanese food you can enjoy at home! See method

Method
- Preheat an air-fryer to 180°C. Toss the tofu, oil, garlic, lemon zest and spice mix in a bowl. Transfer to the air-fryer and cook for 10 mins, shaking halfway.
- Meanwhile, for the toum, put the garlic cloves in a jug with the 40ml lemon juice, rapeseed oil, the 50ml aquafaba from the chickpea tin and the salt. Blitz with a stick blender for about 2 mins or until it emulsifies to the consistency of mayonnaise.
- To serve, spread 4 tbsp of the toum over the flatbreads. Mix the onion, cucumber, chickpeas and tomatoes in a bowl, then divide between the flatbreads and top with the tofu. Store the remaining toum in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Serve in wraps or on toast with fries or crudités.
Tip: You could swap the tofu for leftover cooked meat – both lamb and chicken will work well.
