- BBQ vegetables with halloumi and chickpeas -

My go-to summer quick and easy dinner. Minimal prep or clean up. Delicious, light and a great way to use up any veg you have sitting in the fridge.

Ingredients:
- eggplant, sliced thick
- zucchini, sliced
- capsicums, red and green
- baby spinach leaves
- halloumi, sliced
- olive oil
- chickpeas, canned and drained

Method: heat BBQ or grill to medium temp. Prepare vegetables and halloumi and brush with olive oil. Add vegetables to grill and cook, turning once coloured on one side.
Once the vegetables and halloumi are nicely grilled, lay on top of a bed of baby spinach. Add chickpeas and halloumi to the top and dress with a little more olive oil. Enjoy!

- Warm roast cauliflower, pomegranate & freekeh salad -

Ingredients:
1 x head cauliflower, broken into florets and drizzled with olive oil, pepper and salt.
1 x pomegranate, seeded
1 x cup flat leaf parsley
1 x cup rocket
1/2 cup cooked freekeh
1/3 cup hazelnuts

Dressing:

1tsp Maple syrup or honey
1/3 tsp Cinnamon
1/3 tsp All spice

Method:
1. Cook the freekeh in saucepan or microwave as per package instructions.
2. Heat oven to 200 degrees, and roast cauliflower for 20minutes. Turn the cauliflower and roast for a further 5-10 minutes until brown on the edges. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Turn the oven down to 160 degrees and roast hazelnuts on a tray for 5 minutes. When done, roughly chop.
4. Place rocket, parsley, freekeh and hazelnuts in a bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon and mixed spice. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Gently toss.
5. Plate up the salad, and top with cauliflower and pomegranate seeds.

This is a modified version of a recipe in Jerusalem. I have added rocket and freekeh to boost the whole grain content and carbs - but it can be left out.

A favourite quick yummy no cook lunch I eat regularly :)

- Fifya felafels
- Mission Low GI wraps
- Pilpel Hummous
- Farmers Union Greek yoghurt
- Salad of tomato, cucumber and radish with lemon juice and olive oil dressing.

Low GLycemic Index (GI) carbohydrate foods raise blood glucose levels slowly, leading to sustained energy levels i.e best that 3pm slump! They are often high fibre foods, and keep you feeling full!

If you ask me what my favourite food is, my answer would be burrata, followed by good sourdough bread with fennel and radicchio on top of the veg list.

I was thrilled to see this recipe in the July 22 issue and finally got to making it, using burrata, bread and salad items from my Friday’s with Luca shop at .

Not budget friendly, but worth every cent watching that cream ooze out of the cheese.

Burrata is an Italian cows milk cheese that is like a little bag of love. The bag or outer is made of mozzarella and is tied up around stracciatella (milk curds) and cream.
