A Taste of Israel – Hummus and Falafel

Shalom Y’all,

MMMMM! I have been craving falafel since we left Israel!! We ate it every day during our stay there and I love, love, love it! I have SO been hankerin’ for some falafel y’all. (That’s Southern-Jewish-speak!) 🙂

However, since I don’t deep-fry anything, I decided to either griddle cook or oven bake my falafels. Today I decided on the griddle and next time, I’ll try the oven bake method. Cooking falafels on the griddle smoked up the whole house! Even with the vent fan on and the kitchen door open to the outside. LOL!~

Anyway, the taste was GREAT!!! I may do it outside next time, with the griddle on the gas grill.

I also made a batch of hummus, which is SO easy and we eat it all the time. There are as many recipes and variations of hummus as there are stars in the sky. Well, not exactly, but almost.

Anyway, here is what I did today and my hubby Tim was thrilled! He said the tastes were fantastic!

BTW, in Israel, they say “HOO-Moos”, not “HUM-mus.”

Go to the main RFL website to see the recipes for Hummus and Falafel. See y’all there!
