This week I made a Middle Eastern meal for myself and a few friends that I had over for dinner. I made a large platter of Falafel, Warm Whole Wheat Pita pockets, Romaine lettuce, Roasted Eggplant, Zucchini, Red Bell Peppers, Onions and Chopped up spring onions.
I also made a really simple hummus with Sesame Seeds, Garlic, Chickpeas, Olive oil, Salt/Pepper and Hot sauce to go with the Falafel.
Everyone sat around the platter and filled their pita pockets with whatever they wanted and topped it off with hummus. It was a delicious and simple feast to prepare even though it may seem like there are so many components to this meal.
I highly recommend making this meal! If you do not want to make the Falafel from scratch, there are great Falafel mixes that are available at Wegmans/Tops. They are really quick, easy and inexpensive. One thing to keep in mind is to have fun with the colors of the vegetables that you pick. I wanted several colors represented on the platter to make it look more visually tempting especially since I had over a few of my friends who weren't necessarily vegetarian. Not only was this meal easy to prepare but I only spent $12 for this meal and severed more than 8 servings! Everyone enjoyed it!
