Good morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope

Good morning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you've coped okay this week. There sure is a lot to grapple isn't there?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you fancy making something delicious, nourishing & versatile this weekend, I would love to share my recipe for this beautiful Middle Eastern Beetroot dip? It may just help too with the shortage of supplies you may be experiencing at the stores.
This morning, I enjoyed this with poached eggs and warm sourdough & avo for breakfast. It is fabulous as a dip, served with crusty bread or lavosh or lots of raw vegetables on the side. Serve it under roasted meats or fish. The list goes on.
I hope you love it. Share it with a friend. Save it for when you want to make a batch.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This dip is lovely served whilst still a little warm or it will store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe ~
2 beetroots
40ml olive oil
40g sugar
1 teaspoon each of ground cumin, coriander, cinnamon & paprika
Sea salt
60ml lemon juice
2 tablespoons of pomegranate molasses
1 level tablespoon natural yoghurt
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The method can be found in the comments.
I hope you love it.
Enjoy & have a happy weekend ahead💛

Today's recipe and breakfast has been with me for

Today's recipe and breakfast has been with me for a very long time. It is a wholesome and delicious homemade granola.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Warm golden oats with cinnamon, nutmeg, nuts and seeds. The aroma that will fill your home alone is enough to make this well worth it. I think & hope you might find it to be the best granola you have ever enjoyed and.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Save this post for granola making days like today.
+ Scroll across for more images. There is one of this granola in a jar which is a very handy thing to have with you. I also love topping poached fruits like plums and pears with yoghurt or custard and big spoonfuls of granola.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole almonds, roughly chopped to retain large pieces
120g each sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons flaxseeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon sea salt
⅓ cup olive oil
⅓ cup good honey
⅓ cup apple juice
1 cup dried fruits such as blueberries and cranberries, or top with fresh seasonal fruit and yoghurt
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Preheat oven to 150°C.
In a bowl, mix together the oats, almonds and seeds.
Place the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, olive oil, honey and apple juice in a small saucepan and bring gently to the boil, stirring constantly. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread out evenly on a lined baking tray and bake for approximately 35 minutes. It is important to stir the muesli a couple of times during cooking to prevent it from burning or sticking.
Reduce the temperature to 140°C and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until the granola is a rich golden colour. Switch off the oven and allow to cool and dry out further (you can even leave overnight). Add the dried fruits once completely cool, and store in an airtight container.

Dear Friends - ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This here is the nourishing soup to make for all the people you desperately want to hug right now but that you have to hug through soup or phone calls instead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a hug in a bowl kind-a soup with lentils, barley & finished with lemon and ……..it’s glorious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is for for all those unwell, for all who are isolating, for all those who can’t access rapid tests, for all who can’t visit the people they need to and want to, for all those out of work or closing doors .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dear COVID - It is time for you to go squat in a cactus patch. Truly…..It’s time. 🌵⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe for this soup is all yours to cook and enjoy for yourself, your own families or for the people you desperately want to hug right now but when soup will come a close second. You can find it on the blog. Link to this is in my bio (simply click on the Instagram home page for Relish Mama & click on the linktr.ee link highlighted in my bio)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS - I had to google if I was allowed to name a recipe with an expletive without getting banned. To save you the key strokes - you can’t but the original name was far catchier…….just saying 😉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share this with anyone in need of a bowl of ‘Insert expletive here’ COVID soup. Or even better…..cook it for them. They need your love 💛⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A very important post by @danivalent today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As is pointed out, it is not possible - or extremely challenging at best - to run businesses without staff. And, of course, staff can’t survive without work and they certainly can’t buy rapid tests. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Their is extreme fatigue in the my hospitality world. Sheer and utter exhaustion from constant pivots and reinvention. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Businesses who are running with very limited staff or closing because it is simply unmanageable right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dani has shared many responses in her IG Stories. Heartbreaking but very important stories and replies that all should see. I sincerely hope the policy makers have their eyes on this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please share. Our future world needs hospitality & it needs compassion & it needs kindness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you @danivalent for the powerful & important work you do as a communicator & thought leader 💛💛💛

Thank you for your warmth, love, support, DM’s, emails….everything & all of it.
Can’t wait for the good stuff of 2022 for us all.

Wishing you a New Year where precious memories are made. I hope it’s jam packed full of happiness, healthiness, amazing food and many, many laughs. Let them be yours.
💛

Merry Christmas eve everyone 🎄

More often than not, there is not enough room in the oven Christmas day to have everything in at once. If you like, cook vegetables in advance and then cool, cover & set aside. Return to the oven on 180oC for 20 minutes to reheat & crisp before sitting down to eat.
You can, of course, change the vegetables I’ve listed here to suit what you have on hand and ones you love.
