Fresh Coleslaw with Crispy Spinach Roti
Flatbreads are my favourite bread recipes to make at home. Store-bought varieties have shortening or vegetable oil added to make them pliable and extend their shelf life, but the extra virgin olive oil in this crispy recipe is a healthier alternative.

Instructions
Coleslaw
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine cabbages, carrot, red onion, apple, jalapeño pepper and cilantro. In a small bowl, combine lime juice and zest, olive oil, nutmeg, allspice, salt and pepper. Pour over cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Season to taste.
Roti
- Add olive oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. When it's hot, sauté spinach until wilted, about 30 seconds. Remove spinach and chop finely.
- In a medium bowl, combine chopped spinach, flour, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Add warm water a little at a time, kneading until soft dough forms. Knead until smooth. Divide dough in four and roll with a floured rolling pin until it's as thin as a tortilla.
- In a non-stick sauté pan with no oil over medium heat, cook roti on one side for two minutes; flip and cook for another two minutes. Repeat with remaining three rotis, piling them on a plate as each is done.
