Crafty cats.



How many times have you gotten half way through cooking something and realised that you don’t have one or more of your ingredients? That happened to me this afternoon when trying to whiz up a dip to have with felafels and salad for dinner tonight.

So I improvised like MacGyver does when he finds himself in a sticky situation. MacGyver could detonate a ticking time bomb with a paper clip using his teeth while tied to the roof of a moving train, with his lustrous blonde mullet flapping in the breeze... The ultimate crafty cat before Bear Grylls came on the scene.

Whiz together in a food processor:

1 x 400g can of organic chickpeas (drained)
2 x Tbsp lemon juice
2 x Tbsp tahini
2 x Tbsp coconut oil (instead of olive)
2 x Tbsp leftover salsa sauce (because I hate wasting food)
2 x garlic cloves

Wow, how good would this dip be if you were feeling a little under the weather! Vitamin C from the lemons, garlic is nature’s antibiotic and coconut oil contains lauric acid which has antifungal properties.


Get crafty in the kitchen wherever possible! You might just create something special...
