Juice of 2 lemons
10 TBS olive oil
1-1.5 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp salt
0.5 cup of Parsley
Ingredients:
Dough:
5 tsp instant yeast
1 cup warm water (add more if dough is dry)
1 cup white flour

1 cup of oats
1 tsp salt
2 tsp brown sugar
Bathing:
0.5 cup warm water
2 TBS baking soda
Topping:
Coarse sea salt
2 TBS oil (+ oregano-optional)
Directions:
1. Combine 1 cup of warm water and yeast in a bowl. Let rest until bubbly.

Ingredients
200g chickpeas
1-2 medium lemons
2 TBS whole tahini
4 TBS olive oil
2-4 garlic cloves
½ -1 tsp salt
pepper
crushed linseeds-optional
Method
I add freshly crushed linseeds to most things I make since it is the richest plant source of omega-3 fats.
*for an even better taste…use Greek chickpea soup made the day before*
This hummus will keep for at least 3 days.
This amount would do for 4 people as a starter/dip.
My hubbie Panos helped me perfect this recipe 🙂

6.5 cups of broth (or 6.5 cups of water+1tsp marmite)

Method for Pasta
Place all of the pasta ingredients into a pot. The pasta must lie flat so if it is longer than your pot, simply break it in half.
After the pasta comes to a boil, simmer for 9-13 minutes uncovered.
Liquid should be absorbed but not completely. Add olive oil.
