Recipes from Today’s Show: Israeli Cooking
TODAY on MHTV: I love learning new recipes and family traditions that center around food; today I have my friend Tal and her mom, who is from Israel, over to show me how to make a few Middle Eastern dishes. Hummus, is a simple chickpea dip blended with sesame paste, lemon juice and garlic—I like to serve it alongside falafel, a recipe that’s an easy and delicious vegetarian dish. The chickpeas are formed into patties, fried and stuffed into a pita with all the fixings, including tahini sauce. Tal’s mom shows me how to make her personal recipe for a simple Israeli salad—cucumbers, mint, and parsley are drizzled with lemon juice and olive oil. More from the show.

What great recipes are coming up on future episodes??
I was wanting to try and make falafel and will not be able to make eat this all in one sitting. I was wondering what is the best way to freeze them. Would if be before frying them or after? Does freezing them make them taste differently?
Thanks,
Denise
Help! I’ve been CRAVING these after seeing your episode, but my falafel batter would not stay together! The patties were mushy and would not flip – what could be wrong!
I’m with you Melissa. I just made all three, and was so excited about the falafel. The batter smelled fantastic. But just like yours, it came out too soupy and just fell apart when it hit the pan. Seeing your comment at least makes me realize it wasn’t just me. Not sure what could be the problem. I’ll take some solace in the fact that the Israeli salad and the hummus came out great!
My batter fell apart when hitting the pan as well but stayed together after both sides were done frying.
I was surprised how little flavor this falafel recipe had. After tasking my first batch, I have doubled the amount of spices in the remaining batter and fried the rest. Unfortunately, this procedure did not help much.
Anyone else expected bolder flavors?
