Mezze Spread
A Middle Eastern table to graze across. The falafel batter starts with dried chickpeas soaked overnight, plan for that. Hummus and mujadara are both happy made ahead and served cool or at room temperature, so blend the hummus and cook the mujadara early. Get the shakshuka simmering on the stove while the falafel fries last so it's crunchy and hot straight out of the oil. Warm pita and lemon wedges all around. Bake the pita just before serving so it's warm, and make the tzatziki ahead. It's better once it's had time to chill.
