Hummus

 

Definetely you can not make falafel and not accompany them with hummus. So I did.

Hummus is not difficult at all. You're preparing chickpeas for falafel anyway. Of course, even if you don't make falafel, the hummus dish can be a very tasty side dish in a meal. This recipe has a "lemon" flavor that gives a boost to the dish. Hummus was included in my daughter's request, along with falafel .. lucky me, she didn't ask to also make pitta bread from scratch!

Enjoy
