Press it on pita bread thinly and place it under the grill, and serve like a wrap Great snack or light lunch with salad http://www.grouprecipes.com/78342/kafta.html You can buy it in stores but why not make it in your own kitchen. Adapted from the book: The Foods of Israel Today. http://www.grouprecipes.com/74045/a-recipe-for-homemade-israeli-hummus.html I found this easy recipe on-line and made it for a small luncheon I hosted (I doubled the recipe). Everyone commented on the yummy flavors so I thought I would share the recipe. The sumac powder was difficult to find. I purchased it from a local Middle Eastern grocery store. This goes great with hummus and pita chips. http://www.grouprecipes.com/63733/israeli-salad.html This is a tried and true recipe I obtained from a great Turkish website: http://almostturkish.blogspot.com. There are several recipes from that website that I have tried. I was asked to cater a Turkish menu and this is one of the delights I served and it was a huge hit. This is an unusual and very herby and very tasty potato salad. I love it and hope you do as well. Enjoy http://www.grouprecipes.com/11172/patates-salatasi.html This light, tart salad is a refreshing lunch in itself, or works well as a side to grilled meat, fish, or chicken. It's based on a Lebanese fattoush recipe, but I have tweaked it to add Israeli couscous for the starchy part. Israeli couscous is more toothsome than the small grained kind. If you can't find Israeli Couscous, it's fine to use toasted pita pieces, which need to be added at the last minute. One good thing about the couscous is that it can stay in the dressing indefinitely. If you can't find sumac, it's fine to leave it out. You may wish to increase the lemon juice to make up for that. http://www.grouprecipes.com/7712/israeli-couscous-salad.html I was taught this some 20 years ago. It is a simple dish and delicious to accompany any kind of middle eastern stew or kebab dish http://www.grouprecipes.com/6994/crispy-rice.html
