Sounds quite decadent.

I enjoy making my own falafel and tahini sauce. I make up a big batch of batter and freeze it pre-formed into patties to cook up quick.

GG's Falafel:
(makes ~16 2" diameter patties, feeds 4-6)
1 Can garbanzo beans/chickpeas, puree in a food processor or blender
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
4 Tablespoons baking flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 Teaspoon cumin or curry powder
Mix in bowl. Form into patties or balls. Freeze a minimum of 10 minutes before frying, so they maintain their shape.

Tahini Sauce is quick and easy. All you need is:
Dash of Dill
1/2 cucumber, diced
1 small container plain yogurt

We always have pita bread and salad greens on hand to enjoy.
