Fattoush Salad

  1. 1

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, sliced radishes, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, and chopped mint.

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

  2. 5

    Process Until Smooth

    Blend until smooth and creamy. If necessary, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Falafel

  1. 7

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain the soaked chickpeas and place them in a food processor.

    Blend with Seasonings

    Add chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the processor. Blend until a coarse mixture forms.

  5. 11

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the falafel from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.

Pita Bread

  1. 12

    Mix the Dough

    In a bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

    Knead the Dough

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  3. 14

    Let it Rise

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

  4. 15

    Shape the Pitas

  5. 16

    Bake the Pitas

    Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until puffed and cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly.
