Perked up Hummus with Tomato and Olive garnish


Sometimes, you just want something quick - and this ain't exactly cooking but if you need lunch and you don't want to wait then this is a great idea.

The beauty of this dish is that you simply take a pot of ordinary (preferably organic) Hummus from the fridge, scoop half of it out on a plate and then, holding the spoon centrally in the Hummus, rotate the plate so that it forms a little "cup" of Hummus in the middle.

Once that's done, slice a Tomato into wedges, sprinkle with a little Paprika and Chilli flakes, drizzle with a little (or a lot!) Olive oil and garnish with Olives and Feta cheese. If you want, Jamie Oliver also squeezes a bit of Lemon juice over the whole lot to perk it up a bit - good idea - I just haven't done it here. Now that's lunch!

Normally, I'd have this with toasted, crispy Food Doctor Pitta breads - the ones with the seeds in. This time I decided to branch out and try eating it with original Ryvita bread thingys. It was nice - but I think I prefer the hot crispy Pitta breads....

Until next time....
