Looking for a quick, tasty and wholesome meal that doesn’t involve spending hours in the kitchen? A delicious Middle Eastern-inspired falafel plate could be just the ticket.
One of the signature products from Baraka Foods is their ready-to-use falafel mix, a wet mix that takes all the hard work out of preparing this traditional favourite. Popular with restaurants and cafes, it’s also available in retail packs, making it easy to enjoy at home.
Simply roll the mix into balls or patties, heat a little oil in a frypan and cook, turning after about five minutes, until golden and cooked through. It’s that easy!
For a quick lunch or light dinner, build your own Middle Eastern-inspired plate. Start with warm pita bread and a generous dollop of Baraka’s hummus and baba ganoush, then add your freshly cooked falafel. Drizzle with their creamy tahini, spoon over some Moroccan capsicum salsa, and finish with fresh rocket, and crumbled feta. A squeeze of lemon brings everything together. It’s colourful, full of flavour, and perfect for sharing or packing up for a picnic.
With traditional Lebanese-inspired favourites alongside their Moroccan flavours, Baraka’s range makes it easy to put together a delicious spread without spending hours in the kitchen.
And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s something for dessert too. They’ve created, what they describe as, Australia’s first dessert hummus, a healthier alternative to traditional chocolate spreads, with a 4.5 Health Star Rating.
Available in chocolate, vanilla bean and mocha, these versatile spreads can be used to dip, spread or create a simple dessert. Try them with fresh or dried fruit, banana chips, pancakes or toast. You can even spoon some into a bowl, top with sliced fruit and serve with yoghurt or ice cream.
From an easy, savoury meal to a little something sweet, Baraka Foods has plenty to get creative with.
Find Baraka Foods every Friday at Mullum Farmers Market from 7am to 11am.
