Maputo Market

One of my favourite things to do when I go to Maputo, Mozambique is to visit the colourful markets.

The art is beautifully inspiring and crafty. From the many designs and shapes of the capulanas to the smooth and silky wooden sculptures and smells.

A great way to spend an afternoon!

Herby Tomato and Ricotta Parcels

I love making little parcels for delicious light lunches for friends and family. They are non-fuss and quick to make. So are great if you are short on time.

A few days ago I filled them with tomatoes, ricotta and herbs and served them with a light salad and hummus. They were truly Yum Yum.

To make the parcels I placed three thin sheets of pastry in a cupcake tray, drizzled with olive oil and placed in the oven until they were formed. Approximately 5 minutes.

Each parcels was then filled with fresh oregano, garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, ricotta, salt and pepper. Placed back in the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes.  Viola...There you have it!

The little parcels were served with homemade hummus and a light salad. The salad was made of corn, rocket, cucumber and tomatoes with a balsamic vinaigrette. Simple and Bright.
