Emily is obsessed with making lists and quizzes at the moment. What is your favourite colour? What’s your favourite shape? What is your favourite food?
She gets annoyed I can’t say one favourite food.
But Falafels would definitely be up there. This is a sunshine food and I hope we get some more sunshine soon!
Assembly
- Spread hummus over a falafel, scatter over freshly grated carrot.
- Add the falafels , scatter with the pomegranate granita
