Street Food

This is a dish often served by street venders. Luckily we are American and believe this to be exotic and once you find the right recipe it can also be affordable and delicious. It is so easy to make it has become a staple for the Phillips camper.

Top Hummus, tzatziki sauce and the falafel

The Menu:
The Best Hummus I have ever made
Tzatziki Sauce aka: easy speashy
Salad with Kalamata Olives and Pepperoncini peppers-Oil and Vinegar Salt and pepper

BOOOOM!

I believe you need a food processor for every recipe. If you have one for this it will save the hairs on your head.

Hummus:

• 1 can of chickpeas
• 1/4 cup liquid from the can of chickpeas
• 3 tbls lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 1/2 tbls tahini
• 2 tbls olive oil

mix all in a food processor until completely smooth and done.



Tzatziki sauce is easy probably better recipes out there but I just peel the skin off half of a cucumber and a 6 oz package of plain greek yogurt. I think it should be kind of chunky.

Obviously the Salad is an easy greekish salad. mix and match do what you please...but here is an amazing dressing that I didn't feel like making tonight..

• 1/3 cup Olive Oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 3 garlic cloves minced
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1tsp thyme
• 1tsp basil
•  1/2 tsp salt

Shake before every pour.

 

 

 

 

Pretty! and amazing light on a late winter sunset

For the Falafel:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas or 16 oz. can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans.
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tablespoons flour

Chop the chickpeas in a food processor kind of chunky, also the onions then mash everything up and form into little balls, a little smaller than a gold ball then squish it down. I fry in vegetable oil for 5 minutes on each side. I absorb the grease on an old paper grocery bag. then bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

it is so yummy!

STREET FOOD????

 and there is some dirty old street food. That might be the best dish I have ever made. I put the hummus and Tzatziki in first, the tomatoes, cucumbers, falafel and feta cheese, with a little salt on top.


I am the best wife ever!!
