Falafel

Turmeric Rice

Fattoush Salad

Hummus

Beet Dip

Pickles

Tahini Sauce

Method

Falafel

  1. 1

    Prepare Chickpeas

    Soak the chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse before using.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Form Falafel Balls

    Scoop the mixture into equal-sized balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Fry Falafel

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry falafel balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Turmeric Rice

  1. 5

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch.

  2. 6

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, combine rinsed rice, turmeric powder, vegetable broth, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.

  3. 7

    Fluff Rice

    Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Fattoush Salad

  1. 8

    Prepare Vegetables

    Chop mixed greens, cucumber, tomato, and radishes into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 9

    Toast Pita

    Toast the pita bread until crispy, then break it into pieces.

  3. 10

    Mix Salad

    In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, toasted pita, lemon juice, olive oil, sumac, and salt. Toss to combine.

Hummus

  1. 11

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Beet Dip

  1. 12

    Blend Beets

    In a food processor, combine cooked beetroot, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and salt. Blend until smooth.

Pickles

  1. 13

    Serve Pickles

    Place pickled cucumbers in a small bowl for serving.

Tahini Sauce

  1. 14

    Mix Tahini Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, minced garlic, and salt until smooth.
