- Butter Bean Hummus: 1 tin of butter beans (reserve half of the liquid) zhoeshed in a mini food processor with 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, cumin and salt.
Main Course
Baby spinach salad with fried aubergines, grilled tomatoes,
chickpeas and goat's milk feta; with a side
of carrot-nut stuffed green peppers.
- Salad:
- Wash baby spinach well and mix with goat's milk feta and a can of chickpeas.
- Fry aubergine slices (1 cm rounds) in a little olive oil and salt. Cut up into bite size pieces before adding to the spinach.
- Grill tomato slices (1 cm rounds) in the oven, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. While still warm, toss tomatoes into the salad (the goat's milk feta will melt deliciously).

- Use a food processor to finely chop a handful of raw cashew nuts, some carrots, wild rocket, salt and olive oil to create the stuffing.
