Simple Hummus Recipe to Complete Platter for Dinner
I love bits and pieces, platter or meze for dinner. When Paulie is in London all day he doesn’t fancy cooking so it gives us a chance to eat all of the preserved recipes I have made as well as a big bowl of hummus that I make while he is out. Paulie got the…

So Paulie and I are being good Monday to Friday with our healthy lunches. To be honest most of the ingredients are store cupboard and can be used again for different recipes.

This recipe is amazing and would be fantastic for this Easter weekend, it is like pork ribs but you get loads more meat and less fat! It is so worth the 4 hours cooking time as it melts in your mouth and dipping the meat in the extra sauce is finger licking good. Me and…
