Falafel Preparation

Soak Chickpeas

In a large bowl, cover the dried chickpeas with water and let them soak overnight. Drain before use.

Prepare Falafel Mixture

In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

Shape Falafel

Form the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

Fry Falafel

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry falafel in batches until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.

Tahini Sauce Preparation

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic, water, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency with more water if needed.

Green Salad Preparation

Chop Vegetables

Chop lettuce, cucumber, and tomato into bite-sized pieces.

Mix Salad

In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine.

Basmati Rice Preparation

Rinse Rice

Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

Cook Rice

In a pot, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Hummus Preparation

Blend Hummus Ingredients

In a food processor, combine canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, water, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust taste and consistency as needed.
