Hello, today I will teach you how to make Mediterranean food
First of all, I will make, tahini, hummus, falafel, taboule

So first of all I will teach you how to make tahini
The things needed for tahini are
8-10 tbsp sesame seeds
3 tbsp lemon juice, 1/4 tsp salt
1/4-1/2 cup olive oil
First of all we are going to roast the sesame seeds
I will make it light brown, you can do dark as well
Then I will grind it up in a blender
We dont have to grind it much, then add the olive oil
lemon juice, salt
1/4 cup of water and then just blend it
you have to make a smooth paste, see our tahini is done
Now we will make hummus
To make hummus, I washed the chickpeas well and soaked it overnight
Then I have boiled it in the moring. We have 3 cups of boiled chickpeas
1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp yogurt
1/2 tsp sumac and 1/2 tsp salt
3 garlic clove, black olives
4 tbsp fresh lemon juice, 6-7 tbsp of the tahini we had made
We have ground the chickpea up once in the processor
Now add garlic, yogurt
lemon juice, salt, tahini
Now i will just add the olive oil and then mix it well
After just scrape up the bottom to mix and create a smooth batter
Then i have added 1 tbsp of olive oil, sumac, green olives
Our hummus is ready, now we will make falafel
To make falafel I had soaked 6 cups of chickpeas overnight
And then I took out the water, so we have overnight soaked chickpeas
8-10 fresh garlic cloves
1 tbsp paprika, this is optional, 3-5 green chillies
1 tbsp salt, 1 tbsp cumin powder
1 tsp levelled baking powder
3 big onions slices, 2 regular bread
1 and 1/2 cup fresh parley and water if needed
In a bowl im adding chickpeas, parsley, chillies, garlic
We are going to process it. It is still not fully done so we will do it once more
You can see how well the paste is now
Now add cumin powder, baking powder, salt,
Paprika powder, bread and then we are going to ground it up oce more

one small onion and one tomato
We are goung to seperately chop them
Then we will chop it altogether
Then add 1 tbsp lemon juice, pinch salt, black pepper

I have two sized pitas, one is big, one is small
I have toasted both on the grill
Now i will open up the big pita from one side
