Mallika Basu's smoky, limey wraps are perfect for midweek self-serve dinners. The key here is to line the ingredients on a tray separately, so all (fussy) diners can pick and choose their fillings, place into a wrap and enjoy.

100g Cooks’ Ingredients 3 Chilli Paste
4 tbsp olive oil
250g pack halloumi, cut into 8 thick fingers
3 British chicken thigh fillets, each cut into 4 strips
6 echalion shallots, peeled and quartered lengthways
2 peppers, deseeded and cut into strips
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
4 seeded or wholemeal wraps
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges
4 tbsp crème fraîche, to serve
6 tsp Cooks’ Ingredients Zhoug Paste, to serve

Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6 and line a baking tray (approx 40x30cm) with baking parchment. Mix the chilli paste and 2 tbsp olive oil in a bowl. Dip the halloumi in the marinade and place in a single layer on 1 end of the baking tray. Place the chicken strips in the marinade to coat well and put on the opposite end of the tray, discarding any remaining marinade mix.
Layer the shallots on either side of the chicken and halloumi, then put the peppers in the middle. Drizzle the remaining olive oil, the cumin and paprika on the vegetables, then season with sea salt flakes.
Put the tray in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Flip the chicken, halloumi and peppers halfway. Cover the wraps with foil and put in the oven on an oven-safe plate under the tray for the final 5 minutes.
Put the tray on the table with the wraps, lime wedges, crème fraîche and zhoug for everyone to help themselves.

Cook’s tip

Zhoug works brilliantly as a topping for eggs and in cheese toasties to use up the rest of the jar. If cooking for a mix of vegetarians and meat-eaters, cook some or all of the halloumi with some of the shallots on a separate tray.
