It is very thick and wonderful spread on crackers.

Thanks for the ideas, which are slightly different from my American ones.<br /><br />I make sourdough crackers as a way to feed my starter: http://thriftathome.blogspot.com/2013/12/low-key-sourdough-and-its-resulting.html<br /><br />And this is pimento cheese, a Southern US recipe that we love: http://thriftathome.blogspot.com/2010/08/pimento-cheese.html<br /><br />Another excellent thing is hot pepper jam, used on bread in combination with cheese or avocado: http://thriftathome.blogspot.com/2012/09/breakfast-avocado-with-red-pepper.htmlMargohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-16918604026737700032014-08-21T17:47:44.262+10:002014-08-21T17:47:44.262+10:00I too make hummus, much cheaper than buying it.

There is a recipe for the spiced clarified butter here http://www.rivercottage.net/recipes/-hughs-spiced-butter-for-potted-trout-and-shrimps/ (please remove link if inappropriate). <br /><br />I also love homemade hummus and baba ganoush. Hummus can be varied by adding roasted or steamed sweet potato for a colourful change. Good old cheese and bread & butter cucumbers is a favourite for me too!

This dip is tasty! Making some extra bread dough when making bread is often useful. I cut small sections of the risen dough and work in some grated cheese, then roll small sticks from this dough and bake them. Easy cheesy snack sticks for packed lunches.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09114653674812242486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-20153306249816109912014-08-20T07:01:10.655+10:002014-08-20T07:01:10.655+10:00I make my own vegan cheeses and I love homemade ta...I make my own vegan cheeses and I love homemade tabouli on sandwiches tooCate Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068520532566968605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24898317293472777402014-08-20T06:37:37.796+10:002014-08-20T06:37:37.796+10:00I have been meaning to make my own crackers for a ...I have been meaning to make my own crackers for a while now.

Sometimes I use the liquid from the beans, sometimes I replace it with water, it's good both ways (though you might want to add salt to taste if you use water).Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-85504514308350380602014-08-20T05:28:04.903+10:002014-08-20T05:28:04.903+10:00Egg salad is a favorite at our house.

Chopped hard boiled eggs, finely diced celery, a bit of chopped sweet pickles, a bit of mustard, salt and pepper and enough mayonnaise to bind it all together.<br /><br />A popular dip in the US has a base of refried beans, a layer of sour cream, chopped lettuce, shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes and sliced black olives plus anything else you would like. Scoop it up with chips. It is hearty enough for a light meal.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
