Herself wants to go out for supper. But the restaurant we're most keen to try is booked up, so I offer to cook/make mezze. It's a lovely day and Herself's passion for hummus knows no limitations, so I thought I might be on to a winner.
As soon as I was given the thumbs up, I started planning the menu. Homemade hummus, obvs. No tahini, she doesn't like it. Tzatziki, obvs, with mint from the garden. Sumac lamb, grilled so it's blackened in parts but pink inside. Slices of aubergine, baked in the oven and scattered with feta and oregano from the garden. Halloumi. Tabbouleh.
Then she decided she just wanted lamb and new potatoes and green beans. Delicious. But not a feast and no menu planning needed.
Never mind, I will deliver my feast another time. Any takers?

yes please!!
ReplyDeleteconfucious says always accept tabbouleh when it is offered with fresh garden grown herbs.
NB i never put tahini in hummous. because i never have it. but a bit of cumin is a good way forward. and a stingy hand on the garlic. i used to make it every day in the veggy cafe.
I'll come with yotam. when are you free?
NB don't you hate the consistency of tahini - like trying to drip playdoh off a spoon?
