| Quick and easy lunch ideas |
Simple hummus
Drain one can of chickpeas. Add a crushed clove of garlic and the zest and juice of half a lemon to the chickpeas and whiz in a blender. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and continue whizzing. Spoon mixture into a bowl and add some chopped olives and a pinch of paprika. If the hummus is too thick for your taste, add a tiny bit of cold water and whiz again in blender.
Couscous and chickpea salad
Put 200g of couscous in a bowl and pour over 200ml of hot vegetable stock. Cover and leave for 5 minutes. Halve a lemon and squeeze. Pour into an empty jar with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of soya sauce. Seal and shake well. Drain chickpeas, finely chop a red onion and quarter a few cherry tomatoes. Add lots of fresh mint, basil, parsley and the dressing to the couscous. Stir well and season with black pepper. Serve straight away.
Sardines on toast
Preheat the grill. Toast 2 slices of nutty seedy wholegrain bread on both sides. Slice a tomato. Drain the tinned sardines leaving a little olive oil. Lay the tomato slices and sardines on the toast and squeeze over a little lemon juice. Grill for 2 minutes.
Salmon and eggs
Make a tasty omelette with 2 eggs, a splash of milk, some flaked fresh or canned salmon, chopped chives. Grate a tiny bit of your favourite cheese on top. |
