Chickpea and vegetable eggah

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

Popular throughout the Middle East, this thick and chunky Arab omelette is served flat, not rolled or folded, and is more like a cake. It is packed with vegetables and chickpeas, and is equally delicious hot or cold – ideal for a picnic. Serve with a simple tomato and red onion salad, and garlic flat bread.

Couscous salad with oranges and dates

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

Couscous makes a brilliant base for a quick salad, as it only needs a brief soaking in hot stock (or water). Here it is combined with chickpeas, dates, oranges and pistachios for a Middle Eastern-style vegetarian dish.

Creamy Yoghurt Houmous

Recipe by: sal

Reviews(3)

This version of the delicious, creamy Middle Eastern dip uses yoghurt and is delightful with raw vegetables or toasted pitta triangles. It is much lower in fat than classic houmous.

Hannah's cous cous salad

Reviews(4)

This simple salad is a favourite of my daughters & whenever made will simply disappear from the fridge before I get to serve it! Quick & easy to prepare & useful to use up odds and ends of salad ingredients.

Hummus salad

Recipe by: Maggie Pannell

Be the first to review it!

Homemade hummus only takes a few moments to whizz together and makes a perfect light lunch, served simply with pitta. But for a balanced meal, turn it into this more substantial salad with the addition of crisp salad vegetables.

I had a minty lemonade when I was travelling in the Middle East. I wanted to try and immitate it. It cools you down on a hot summer day! Adjust the amount of mint to taste.

Quinoa Tabbouleh

Recipe by: syneva

Be the first to review it!

This tabbouleh recipe is different. Instead of using bulgur like traditional tabbouleh, this recipe uses quinoa. It is a grain that is available at health shops. It looks and tastes better than bulgur. My husband and I both love this and neither of us is vegetarian. It's a great meal for a hot summer day. The longer it sits the better it tastes.

Tofu Houmous

Recipe by: Nina

Reviews(2)

This recipe makes enough for a large party. The tofu makes the houmous mild and creamy. Add as much garlic as you like!
