marinate with half tsp salt, touch of turmeric, 1 tbs whole cumin, 1 lemon juice, a touch of saffron, 1 tbs olive oil, cook or bake until cooked through
2lb mixture of lettuce leaves include baby spinach and Rocket
1 cup cucumber diced into 2inch cubes
1 cup tomatoes diced into 2inch cubes
half cup of green/black lives
8 oz hummus thinned down with milk or water to make a pourable sauce
8 oz aubergine dip – cut one medium sized aubergine into two, place under a hot grill until brown, scoop out flesh, add 2 tbs tahina, 2 tbs lemon juice, half tsp fresh garlic, half tsp salt, half tsp black pepper, place in a blender, add milk or water to make a pourable sauce
8 oz salsa - optional
Method
- Place a generous helping of lettuce in an individual serving plate; add cucumber, tomatoes and olives.
