Do you have a jar of tahini in your cupboard that you bought to make homemade hummus but you're left with a jar that's still 3/4 way full and have no idea what to do with it? I'm here to tell you that you can do so much more with tahini than just as an addition to hummus.
I can't stop making these pea patties. I've been so busy the last few weeks that I'm exhausted by dinner time and I just want to whip up something quick and easy. I seem to be making the same things over and over again, but when they taste as good as good as these patties I really don't mind, and the hubby doesn't complain either...
Freekeh is a green wheat popular in Middle Eastern cuisine that's harvested when the grain is still young. Unlike the 'adult' version of the wheat, Freekeh contains more protein, minerals and fibre. It contains three times as much fibre as brown rice. Why does this make it special? Well a high fibre content means it's digested slowly and has a low GI number. A low GI means it doesn't cause the blood sugar to spike the way rice would. It also means it will make you feel fuller so you don't end up overeating.
This is my go-to, super simple and quick salad dressing recipe. I've called it a 'salad dressing' but truthfully, I don't only use it for salads - I love adding it to some steamed vegetables, makes them taste so delicious!
