  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a square baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, chop 1 onion and grate 1 carrot, 1 beet and 1 sweet potato. Place all these ingredients in the food processor bowl and add 2 chopped garlic cloves, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 2 tbsp miso, ⅓ cup olive oil, 1 cup hot water, 1 cup sunflower seeds, 1 cup pumpkin seeds, ½ cup wheat germ, 4 tbsp wheat flour, 4 tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground turmeric, and salt and pepper. Process into a coarse purée. Pour the mixture into the baking dish and press it firmly into the bottom. This is when adventurous eaters can add 2 tsp sambal oelek.
  3. Bake the veggie pâté in the centre of the oven for about 45 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool completely before removing from the dish.
  4. Chop 2 tbsp cilantro and place in a large bowl. Add 400 g ground pork, 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tsp ground cumin, and salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into 4 sausages. This is when adventurous eaters can replace the pork with ground lamb.
  5. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and cook the sausages for 15 minutes or until fully cooked. Turn the sausages several times while cooking.
  6. While the sausages cook, in a small bowl, mix 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard and 1 tsp honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Spread the naan breads with this mixture, add the sausages, lettuce and tomato slices. Fold in half and enjoy.
  8. Thinly slice 1 red onion and cut 1 red pepper into strips. Set aside.
  9. Cut 450 g chicken breast into strips. Set aside. This is when adventurous eaters can replace the chicken with a block of firm tofu cut into strips.
  10. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp olive oil and cook the chicken strips for 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
  11. Add the red pepper strips, the sliced red onion and 2 tbsp fajita seasoning. Continue cooking for 5 minutes.
  12. Top each of the 4 large tortillas with ¼ cup shredded cheese and a quarter of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Fold to form rolls.
  13. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 3 tbsp olive oil and add the 4 rolls. Cook for 2 minutes per side or until golden and crispy.
