For a spicy, yet refreshing twist on a summer dinner. Fully vegan, gluten free and easy on the tummy I’m buying literal crates of mangos with the recent (and very much welcome) heat we’ve had and I have to use them somehow! All of these components are super versatile and can be altered according to what you have in the fridge or your taste preferences. I always use a ‘base’ recipe for my mango salsa being mango (obvs 🤪), avocado, olive oil, lime and herbs (mint/coriander). Endless possibilities!

Remember those ‘Franks Red Hot Sauce’ commercials with catch phrase ‘I put that s***t on everything!’?
Well I put THIS on everything! Potatoes, rice, anything spicy, fish, with curry, as a vegetable dip, alongside a savory brunch, or with daal. It’s the perfect cooling. creamy addition to any dish. I use coconut yoghurt here (I buy coconut collab plain yoghurt) but you can use plain, Greek, Icelandic or even goat yoghurt for the same effect. Its an incredible flexible recipe as well- you can omit the cucumber, lemon or olive oil, and add honey for sweetness, lemon zest for a delicate flavour, or chili for spice so this matches with any recipe. I even dip salty tortilla chips in this as the perfect mini snack!
Sweet Tahini Dip & Greek Spiced Potatoes
This brunch spread hosts some of the most perfect flavor combinations- we have spicy roasted ‘Greek Style’ potatoes wedges, portabello mushrooms topped with a baked egg and this gorgeously creamy and sweet tahini dip. If you haven’t noticed, my new secret weapon in the pantry is pomegranate molasses. It is tart but still delicately sweet in flavor, and matches perfectly with the slightly bitterness of the tahini. The flavors and buttery texture of the dip add depth when combined with the crispy, savorous spiced potato wedges. The sweetness of the paprika, aromatic thyme and pungent oregano on the wedges are so moreish, I always make extra of these to save them for the next morning… but they never actually last a full 24 hours in the fridge! Proceed with caution!
