Curried Hummus

Hummus given a curry spin, and it is delicious too boot.

Whilst I made a fairly straightforward Hummus in my last recipe, I always began to add more flavourful things to it, to lift it up a level.

So I came up with this recipe after playing about with curry spices, creating my own Tikka Masala paste, used in my curried vegetables recipe.

Smoothies

The smoothie has completely revolutionized my breakfast and mornings in general.

Oh my goodness, how easy are these to make!

I have recently come across them as Burger King of all places now have a Smoothie menu, namely Mango and Strawberry.

In order to make my own, I took my existing 5min Froyo Recipe and then pimped it with cream and bananas.

Ingredients

Froyo

  • 6 Plums, chopped into cubes
  • 500g Yoghurt

Smoothie

  • Whipped Cream
  • 2 Bananas

How to make the Smoothie

1. Cut up all of the plums into small chunks. Put in a container and freeze overnight.

2. The next day, add all of the frozen plums into a food processor and blitz a few times.

3. Add in the yoghurt, blitzing until it becomes smooth. 

The simplest and fastest Froyo you’ll ever make.

4. Add the Banana into a liquidiser.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash in just not used for mains, but also in this delicious and satisfying soup.

So I picked up a Butternut Squash the other day, with its use in mind for my Root Veg Kebabs.

Now, I figured I should use it for another few recipes, including this soup.

It’s barbecue Jim, but not as we know it!

In my quest to come up with BBQ alternatives for my vegetarian friends, I have used every trick under the sun to bring them meaty food.
