Flatbread with houmous, aubergine & pomegranate seeds

(Makes 32 slices)

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 10 mins

YOU NEED:

• 400g chickpeas
• 2 tbsp natural yoghurt
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp tahini
• 2 small aubergines
• 1 drizzle olive oil
• 4 flatbreads
• 100g pomegranate seeds
• 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
• 1 small handful mint leaves, to garnish

METHOD: To make the houmous, place the chickpeas, yoghurt, garlic and tahini with half a teaspoon of salt into a food processor (or use a potato masher) and blitz until it has reached a smooth consistency.

Then set it to one side.

To make the topping, slice the aubergine lengthways into thin strips, approximately­­ half a centimetre  thick.

Place the aubergine strips on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Heat a griddle pan or frying pan.

Griddle the aubergine slices in batches, for approximately two to three minutes on each side and then set to one side.

To serve, warm the flatbreads on the griddle.

Place the flatbreads on a serving board and spread with houmous.

Arrange the chargrilled aubergine on top of the houmous and scatter with the pomegranate seeds, pumpkin seeds and mint leaves.

Cut the flatbreads into portions then serve and enjoy.

Sausage rolls

(Makes 12)

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cooking time: 20 mins

YOU NEED:

• 8 large pork sausages
• 250g puff pastry
• 4 tbsp onion chutney
• 1 egg, beaten
• Dusting of flour

METHOD: Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas 4.

Cut the pastry in half lengthways and dust with a little flour.

Roll each piece out, short side first, until it is about half a centimetre thick.

Turn the pastry around and roll out lengthways to get the same thickness.

Using a spoon, spread the chutney down the centre of each piece of pastry.

Then, using scissors, cut the sausages out of their skins and place them lengthways on top of the chutney.

Using a pastry brush, add some beaten egg along the near side of each piece of pastry.

Take the far side of pastry and fold it over the sausage meat towards you, then roll it up towards yourself until the sausage meat is completely encased.

Repeat for the other piece of pastry, then cut into rolls using a sharp knife.

Put the sausage rolls on a non-stick baking tray and brush with the remaining beaten egg.

Cook for 20 minutes or until golden brown and the sausage meat is cooked through.
