Falafel with Hummus
If you think about typical israeli food, chances are high that "Shakshuka" is one of the first things that comes to mind. Everyone is talking about the poached eggs in tomato sauce right now. But hey, let's not forget about one of the absolute classics from our friends in the Middle East: Falafel with hummus!
As we all know, Falafel with hummus is super delicious and relatively easy to make. But did you know that it's also pretty easy to make them 100% paleo compliant? I am talking sugar-free, gluten-free and dairy-free Falafel with hummus! Yummy!! 😉

Falafel

- Put the baking tray in the middle ray of the oven and let them bake for about 20 minutes until the balls are slightly brown.
Hummus
- Break the cauliflower into small pieces and let them simmer for about 8-10 minutes in slightly cooking water.
