I also have a bread machine recipe, but you hafta take it out and bake it in the oven once it is ready for baking.

As for Hummus, yum! Few weeks ago, I made hummus, tabouli, and felafel. Bought the pita bread (I chickened out). Now I think I am craving some Greek food. tzadziki... and shish kabobs.

Tzadziki

Yield: about 3 cups

Serve as a dip with pita triangles, as a salad served on lettuce leaves, or as a side course for grilled meats and spicy foods such as curry.

* 2 medium-size cucumbers
* 2 cups yogurt
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Peel the cucumbers and slice in half lengthwise. With a spoon, scoop out the seeds and discard. Grate the cucumber coarsely and place in a medium-size bowl. Stir in yogurt, garlic, and salt. Garnish with parsley. Chill at least 30 minutes and serve.


mmm.

actually, shish-kabobs aren't Greek, they are Middle Eastern.

Thanks!--that sounds good! :) At restaurants I like to eat that kind of stuff with falafel. The cucumber yogurt really adds to it-great stuff. Also goes good with carrot juice or mango juice.

I think I've had this. Gonna copy down the recipe, in any case. Makes my mouth water just looking at it.

I LOVE tabouli. I can live on the stuff for weeks at a time. I should make some now that it's not quite so cold! I especially like it with a dollop of plain yogurt, which sounds kinda weird but is ohhh so good! So are a few sliced black olives, if you like such things. I love 'em.

I think I'm just gonna run out at lunch and buy some pita bread. I brought hummus and yogurt and such to eat with 'em for lunch. Yum!
