Hummus cremos de casa

 Secretele sunt urmatoarele:

Se fierbe nautul de la conserva inca 20min cu jumate de lingurita bicarbonat ca sa se flescaie bine (sau proaspat la kukta)

Se pune usturoiul tocat in zeama de lamaie sa devina mai mellow

Se pune niste ground cumin, nu mult

Se foloseste apa cu gheata (nu sunt sigur daca conteaza asa mult)

Si un tahini de calitate, cam 20% fata de naut, prea mult amaraste treaba.

Chermoula aubergine - yammm!

 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/jun/12/chermoula-aubergine-bulgar-recipe-ottolenghi

Portobello steak panino

4 portobello mushrooms

provolone

cheddar

parsley and thyme, finely chopped

1 clove garlic

4 panini

lea & perrins sauce

olive oil 

(one double sided grill)

Grill the mushrooms with provolone cheese covering the insides and be careful so they're still juicy and not overly dried.

Half the paninis and toast them very lightly so you can rub them with the garlic clove on the insides

Mix the herbs with the olive oil in a bowl to make a pesto sort of thing

When the mushrooms have cooled a bit, slice them beef flank style, cover them with the pesto, spash some lea&perrins sauce and add the cheddar cheese liberally.

Grill the panini and enjoy with a simple salad (balsamic works well).

You can forget you're not eating meat! Pure yummyness!
