I’ve been wanting to make this for a while – I finally got the chance on Sunday, and I’m so glad I did!
It turned out even better than expected – a fluffy dough ball wreath filled with olives and topped with sesame seeds, sea salt and good olive oil.
The balls are squidgy on the inside and I recommend eating them warm straight out of the oven, dipped in the caramelised onion hummus and a spoon of crunchy festive slaw.
I think the gorgeous caramelised onion hummus is a brilliant dip for the festive period – certainly special. The slow cooking of the onions is well worth it for their beautiful, deep and sweet flavour.
And my slaw has a festive touch with the lightly toasted pecans and little bursts of sweetness from the cranberries.
Tips and swaps; swap the pecans for toasted seeds for a nut free version, omit the olives if you prefer or add other flavours such as sun-dried tomatoes or herbs. Butter beans work well as an alternative to chickpeas, and try swapping the thyme for rosemary.
I hope you love this one! Niki xx
