👨‍🍳 Method

For the Roasted Vegetables

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Cut the vegetables, zucchini, pepper and onion into thin strips.
    KnifeCutting board
  3. 3
    In a bowl, toss the vegetables, zucchini, pepper and onion with the olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika and turmeric.
    Bowl
  4. 4
    Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer, without crowding.
    Baking pan
  5. 5
    Roast the vegetables, zucchini, pepper and onion in a hot oven (220°C / 430°F) 25 minutes, until the vegetables are roasted and tender.

    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.

To assemble

  1. 6
    Mix the tahini and lemon juice.
  2. 7
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.
    💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
  3. 8
    Warm the lafas, spread the tahini sauce over them, top with the vegetables and the cabbage, roll up and serve immediately.
