Mezze on a Summer Night
Our fridge is still full to the brim with food and I am still too lazy to cook. Luckily the sun is
shining and I feel as if someone had just beamed me to some Mediterranean country, so I have no problem with having cold Mezze - the Eastern Mediterranean's answer to Tapas - for tea. I won't try to make you believe that they were all homemade, although once in Prague, in a wild cooking craze I actually did make a full Mezze banquet - hummous, falafel, flatbread with goat's cheese, baba ghanouj, butter beans in tomato sauce and a few more bits and pieces. But today I took the lazy option and combined cheese from Germany (a mix of hard cow's milk and soft goat's milk cheese) with quince jelly and sunblushed tomatoes from the market and hummous and taramosalata from Marks & Spencer. Along with some freshly baked rolls, this actually made for a nice summery supper.Christine at 9:24 pm
