This is another of my lunches from this week..a selection of fresh tasty dishes for the eyes and the taste buds to feast on..perfect for a get together or a picnic or just a great lunch for one!!! I promise, I didn’t eat it ALL myself, not on the same day anyway..;)
The mezze included the cauliflower, goats cheese and za’atar cakes that I posted earlier plus the following dishes..
Salad of quinoa, chopped parsley, grated raw courgette, lemon juice, olive oil, roasted cumin and dukkah
A new dip of roasted hemp seeds, lemon juice, water, roasted cumin, ground coriander, garlic, salt & pepper and parsley…more details on a future post.
Chermoula homous with Turkish chilli flakes
Shish taouk potatoes
Roasted cashews & pine nuts
The salad was so fresh and full of goodness, and just as good the next day..
I am bring my selection of dishes to this week’s Fiesta Friday, co hosted this week by the lovely Loretta and Jess, join in the fun…
Oh man! You beat me to it! I’ve been meaning to make mezze all week after a wonderful lunch at a restaurant! These are gorgeous! And inventive. I love the colors! Yum! Happy Friday!

Welcome to Fiesta Friday Elaine, and thanks ever so much for gracing us with your dish and presence. Wow! just beautiful, look at those colors, flavors, textures and presentation! I notice you have a new board? background? Just lovely, no harissa in these dishes? 🙂 Happy weekend dear one.

Thank you so much, Loretta, and thank you for co hosting 🙂
No, no Harissa in this one, and no new board or anything, just laid out on brown baking paper on my wooden floor 🙂
Have a great weekend xx

That is simply incredible! I would jump on those cauliflower cakes and run away with as many as possible before any other guest could catch me… (just kidding, I am very well behaved and able to control my impulses.. for the most part) 😉

Your food is always so colorful and pretty! But then, good food should be pretty. That’s why casseroles turn me off so much. Food should not look like it’s been regurgitated!

What a beautiful spread Elaine! I should not be staring at these pictures before breakfast… I would much rather have that beautiful salad and those cauliflower and goat cheese cakes for breakfast than cereal!
