The fragrance of sumac is pretty new to this site, but I love it. A little bit smokey, very pretty and a bit spicy too, it is the perfect spice!

I listen to a few foodie podcasts and one of them had a Palestinian born chef discussing her street food restaurant that she is turning into an actual destination. There was discussion about flat breads, with toppings of all sorts, and this recipe is born of listening to that podcast. I got hungry, which is always good for recipe creation! So not Palestinian, but Middle Eastern in an Aussie way...you can really call it pizza if you wish. Throw anything on that Lavash. Think egg for breakfasts, avocado for a California vibe...YUM.

Do

1: To make the chicken, place all ingredients but the chicken and the EVOO into the Thermomix bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 5. Add a drizzle of EVOO to help rinse out the bowl and tip this mixture over the sliced chicken. Rub it in with your hands, cover and marinate for up to 12 hours.
2: To cook the chicken, use more EVOO on either a hotplate on a BBQ or a grill pan in your kitchen and sear the chicken on a high heat. Make sure it is cooked through before covering to rest.
3: Prepare the salad by tossing all ingredients together. I suggest chopping the herbs quite finely to get the most flavour in the salad.
4: Bake the Lavash in pieces as recipe directs. Top immediately with the hot chicken and loads of salad. Drizzle with more EVOO and eat immediately.
