Gold Rush

Garlic mayo is a creamy sauce blending mayonnaise with minced garlic, often used to enhance various dishes.

Garlic Mayo

Fresh avocado with lime, cilantro, and onion.

Guacamole

Cerignola olives marinated in garlic rosemary olive oil

Olives

Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Let soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

Soak Chickpeas

In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but not pureed.

Prepare the Falafel Mixture

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

Shape the Falafel

Heat olive oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Carefully add falafel balls, cooking until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Fry the Falafel

Remove the falafel from the oil and drain on paper towels. Set aside.

Drain

In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

Activate Yeast

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Make Dough

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Knead Dough

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Let Dough Rise

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten into a disc. Bake on a baking stone or sheet for 5-7 minutes until puffy.

Shape and Bake Pita

In a food processor, combine drained chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, water, and cumin.

Prepare the Hummus

Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to reach desired consistency.

Blend

Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with falafel and pita bread.
