That good food and wine time of year has just come and gone, and this year I was lucky enough to introduce, promote and demonstrate a brand I really love!
BELLA.
For those of you who have not yet met Bella, it is a North American brand of kitchen appliances that has just been launched in SA by House IT Africa.
Amoung others, some of the really cool products I have been working with and demonstrating include a hot air popcorn maker, an ice cream machine, a cold press juicer and rocket blenders.
However there is one machine that stands out for me. It's just such a clever little thing... The sports blender.
Anyone who knows me will know that I am somewhat obsessed with smoothies, which is why I absolutely had to have one. It's a single serve rocket blender that comes with a very cool to-go lid. Perfect for all of us morning haters, who can't pull ourselves out of bed early to make and eat breakfast.
During one of my demonstration slots at the 'Well I Am' theatre I decided to make hummus in the SB to show how versatile this little machine is. Which by the way couldn't have been easier.
To say it was a hit is an understatement! Everyone at the show absolutely loved it. Some asked where they can buy it, and I even had an Israeli gentleman tell me it's the first good hummus he's had SA and that it's yummy enough to serve at a hummus bar. Yes hummus bar, did I'm mention I'm moving to Israel?
I'm thinking next year I'll be back with a hummus stand, but for now, as promised- here is the recipe!
I bought super garlic(like normal garlic on steroids), which is why I only use 1 clove. Feel free to add more or less as you like.
I love eating hummus for lunch with crudités, but it's also really yummy with pita bread and as a spread!
Happy Thursday all. Have a fantastic weekend.
