Mediterranean Mezze Bowl
Serves:
Yum! Simple, very quick and can be pretty budget too if you shop wisely - Aldi and Lidl sell budget olives, hummus, salads, antipasta in jars as do other chains. If you're lucky enough to have a good international deli or grocery nearby, eg Turkish, Greek or Cypriot to name a few - you'll find all sorts of delights.
Ingredients:
Base bowl
- Green leaves, tomato, cucumber
- 1-2 falafel, chopped (make sure they're vegan, ie no egg or milk. Some are GF too, eg Great Food range. Most supermarkets now have at least one option)
- Hummus, a dollop. Any flavour but regular is probably best
Additions - choose a few
- Olives
- Stuffed vine leaves (tinned, quite cheap)
- Ready-cooked couscous or bulghur in a pouch - use a GF grain such as quinoa if appropriate OR pitta bread
- Large pickled chillis
- Sundried tomatoes
- Artichoke hearts
- Lemon wedges to serve
Dressing
- Tahini - a tablespoon or two thinned down with lemon juice and water OR a little oil and vinegar
- Sweet or hot chilli sauce to drizzle
Method:
1. Assemble everything together artistically in a portable lunch container or a pretty bowl.
2. Eat and enjoy!
