OK, OK, there’s nothing remotely Olympian about them but – hey – I figured if everyone else is jumping on the commercial bandwagon, then why can’t I? What’s that you say? I could be arrested? By the Thought Police? Sh***e! Better scoff these quick then.
And where better than in front of the telly watching…the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony?
Go for Gold and get stuck in…
Cheese, Courgette and Chives
1/2 tub Philadelphia Cheese
1 tbsp milk, to loosen
1/2 grated courgette
1 tsp fresh chopped chives
Zingy Tomato and Coriander
2 large tomatoes, chopped, then left in a sieve over a bowl to drain some of the water
2 tbsp fresh chopped coriander
Juice of 1 lime
Avocado and Lime
Scooped out flesh of 1 avocado
1 tbsp chopped coriander
1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley
Squeeze of lime juice
Serve with carrot batons, vertically-halved baby sweetcorn, fingers of fresh bread, sliced cucumber and sliced peppers.
I won’t guide you through the steps because I think the photos make them self-evident.
My husband spend yesterday evening trying to make the olympic rings out of jammy dodgers and beer bottles. I am expecting the IOC to turn up any day.
I may have to alert LOCOG to the fact that you’re exploiting the Olympic name so ruthlessly! I wouldn’t mind someone cooking me this, though!
