Hummus and pita bread
For this recipe, you will need 2 cups of chickpeas, a few garlic cloves, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, cumin powder, chilli powder, salt, coriander leaves and pepper. You can buy ready-to-eat pita bread to accompany your hummus. In a food processor or blender, add overnight soaked and boiled chickpeas with some water, salt, cumin powder, tahini, olive oil and garlic. After blending it well, add some lemon juice to it. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy it with some olives.
Chessy baked polenta
In a large bowl, whisk some milk with butter, parmesan and polenta. Transfer to a lightly greased dish. Cover with baking paper and foil, place in the oven and cook for 18 to 20 mins. Uncover the dish, add pancetta and taleggio and cook for a further 15 minutes. Add sage leaves on top for garnishing.
Tian tart
Start by rolling out 2 sheets of thawed puff pastry. Spread Creme Fraiche and some chopped herbs on puff pastry. Layer some fresh vegetables on top. Season liberally with salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 18 to 20 mins.
Soya bean curry
Add some soya chunks to 3 cups of boiled water and set aside. Take some oil in a pan and sautee some onion, cumin seeds, curry leaves, chilli and ginger-garlic paste. Add chopped tomatoes on top and cook for some time. Make a paste of the mix with a hand blender in the pan. Add coconut oil or cream into the mix and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Add some yoghurt and water into the pan along with soya chunks and leave the gas on medium for a few minutes. Serve hot.
Mac and cheese
Boil some macaroni for the dish. In a different saucepan, add butter, flour, salt, pepper and some milk. Stir until smooth. Add your favourite cheese to the pan and cook until everything mixes properly. Add macaroni to the cheese mix and cook for a few more minutes and serve hot with garlic bread.
