Hello all! Sorry I’ve been missing in action for a while. Since moving to China, I have been going to see my family in Singapore and Malaysia every couple of months which is a huge blessing seeing as I was never able to do that when we were living in Spain and the UK. 

I recently came back from a month in Singapore visiting my grandma, cousins & relatives and a week at Montigo Resorts in Batam Island, Indonesia with my husband which was 30 mins on the ferry from Singapore. It was a week of fabulous food, massage & spa treatments and swimming. Perfect to relax & recharge.

Anyway, back in China and I’d like to share this simple recipe of Beetroot Hummus with you, inspired by Gordon Ramsay.   

Ingredients
• 300 gms chickpeas

• 1 betroot 

• 2 tsp tahini

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 garlic clove

• Juice of half a lemon

• salt & pepper to taste

Method

Blitz all in a food processor, (taste to check the balance of flavour) garnish with chopped coriander & some whole chickpeas, serve with pitta bread or flat bread. 

On a different note, I recently came across a website with the same name as mine and I would like to inform all my readers and subscribers, that we are in no way related despite the similarities. 

Thank you and enjoy the hummus!💗

Since living in Spain, both my husband and I have really missed having Hummus with raw vegetables & also with crusty bread. I tried making it once in the UK but it didn’t turn out as good as the ones we bought from the middle eastern take out place.

So, while reading through some of the blogs I follow last night, Alice from A Life Moment posted her Hummus recipe! It was as though she read my mind and I just HAD to make it today!

Result? Success!!!

So here is Alice’s recipe…
• 1 can of chickpeas (she boils it for 15 mins before making the hummus)
• the juice of 1 lemon (she added the zest, I forgot it but lets just pretend it’s in there 😊)
• 3 tsp of yoghurt (I used Greek yoghurt)
• 1 clove of garlic (grated)
• 1 tsp olive oil (I used 2 tbsp as there were more chickpeas in the jar here compared to the tinned ones in the UK)

Blend all the ingredients above until creamy and it’s ready!

I refrigerated it for half an hour before serving it with some Moroccan bread that we bought, carrots, celery & baby plum tomatoes along with my Moroccan Spiced Chicken.

Thank you Alice of A Life Moment for sharing the Hummus recipe, it was really yummy!

Have a great Saturday to all! 😊
