SWEET PEA HUMMUS

Some friends came round last night.

The men to watch the 'footie', and drink beer, and the girls to have a good old gossip,and a glass (or 3) of wine in the garden.

Looking for something to go with our al fresco drinks, I came across Claire Thomas at the Kitchy Kitchen who has come up with this perfectly delicious, summer dip.

To make a good bowlful,

YOU'LL NEED:

1 cup frozen peas

1 tbls sugar

1 tsp salt for boiling the peas

2 cups of cooked chickpeas

1/4 cup greek yoghurt

2 cloves garlic very finely chopped

large handful fresh coriander leaves chopped

1/2 tsp cumin

2 tbls tahini paste

2 tbls lemon juice

salt and black pepper

Put the peas, sugar and salt into a saucepan and cover with water. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until tender and bright green. Drain and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process.

Strain the peas and pop all of the above remaining ingredients into a food processor and blitz. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with a swirl of olive oil,

and a little extra chopped coriander on the top.

Dipping implements are up to you, but I like to serve with warm pitta bread, carrot, red pepper and cucumber sticks.

Did someone mention the world cup?!

Bon Apetit!

Say 'hello' to summer with this designer style steal.

X X X

Long beach walks, picnics, and fresh delicious local food, are just what my VHM (very handsome man) and I need right now.A long weekend away to relax and recharge, and hopefully soak up a few rays of Cornish sunshine. There is something so wonderfully soothing about the air in Cornwall, that as soon as I arrive I feel all the stresses melting away. Packing is kept to a bare minimum, come rain (very possible) or shine I am wearing shorts, as this mini break is very low key. However, just a few of my favorite pamper products may creep into the holdall.

PACKING LIST

I have worn Birkenstocks for many years. If you haven't tried them yet, then you really should. Besides being this summer's 'fashion favourite' footwear, they are also undeniably comfortable.
