Yesterday I raided my fridge and cupboards and made a quick, easy and healthy supper. I love roasting vegetables but it is only recently that I have been so very inspired by my dear friend Elaine over @ Foodbod to create dips and pastes, to accompany my our meals
Yesterday I had some lovely aubergines so I thought I would team it up with some tangy cherry tomatoes and a sweet red onion that caramelize whilst it was roasted. I added a Mexican touch to the vegetable paste using lime, ground coriander & cumin powder. Whilst most of the yummy flavours came from the amalgamation of the veg
So here you have my Mexican Roasted Veg Pitta Pockets, healthy, good and fun!
Have a great day, much love D x
