Sarah’s Unconventional Hummus

smc

The chick peas were calling to me yesterday, so I soaked some overnight then boiled them gently in some water for about an hour this morning, then drained them and left them to cool. Hummus was on the menu but didn’t have any tahini, so felt to add some sesame seeds instead – a little unconventional, but it really has a subtle, creamy taste. Let the blender do the work on the chick peas, sesame seeds, lots of ground black pepper and lots of lemon juice. Use olive oil to get it all moving though add slowly because it needs … Continue reading Sarah’s Unconventional Hummus

The Best Brussel Sprouts Ever!

Trim the brussel sprouts and then slice them into discs. Heat some olive oil in a pan and when it’s hot, pop in the sprouts with some ground black pepper and a few caraway seeds. The outer leaves crisp up and the inner core is soft and sweet. … Continue reading The Best Brussel Sprouts Ever!
