Creamy spiced hummus

Creamy spiced hummus

A tasty take on the classic Mediterranean dip, infused with a mix of aromatic spices that enhance its creamy texture and rich flavour. This spiced hummus pairs beautifully with crunchy veggie sticks, seedy crackers, or a slice of sourdough toast. Quick and simple to prepare, it also keeps well in the fridge for up to a week!

Mini Veggie Frittatas

This is a great little snack idea and so easy to make! You can mix up the filling ingredients and add whatever veggies (and meat) you may have in the fridge. Great for a snack on the go, or addition to the lunchbox.

    This is delicious! The crust has a beautiful roasted depth to the flavour; you’d never know it was sunflower seeds!
    The mince filling is really tasty with all the spices (didn’t know where to use the honey so left it out)
    Teenager and husband loved it so I’ll be making this again ASAP! Looking forward to trying it cold for lunch tomorrow.
