Falafel originated in Egypt and is popular across the Middle East. Seasoned and pureed garbanzo beans are formed into cakes and fried, then placed on a salad or in a pita sandwich with fresh sliced vegetables and cucumber sauce or tahini. This is sure to become a family favorite!

Falafels so good they blow store bought ones out of the water. Serve on pitas, with your favorite sauces and toppings, or on buns like a burger. This recipe is good accompanied by any Middle Eastern dish such as tabouleh or roasted potatoes.

Authentic Middle Eastern Hummus (Chummus)

Authentic chummus is very different and SO much tastier than it's American counterpart. This chummus is creamy and delicate in taste rather than overpowered with garlic or thick and pasty. It is eaten warm, fresh, and as a whole meal spread out in a dish and drizzled with fresh olive oil. It is scooped up with pita, raw onion slices, or just a fork. Do NOT use canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans)!
