Mediterranean mezze :)

I have been craving this Mediterranean mezze for weeks now and finally had the time and effort to make it! (It was definitely worth it!) probably took about an hour and a half to make, so make sure you have plenty of time.

The great thing about mezze is you can make as many parts of it as you fancy, and swap things about as you please. In this dish I had falafel, flat breads, sundried tomatoes, salad, houmous, tzatsiki, dukka aubergine and roasted peppers...

Most of these you can either buy or make, whatever you prefer.. I made the flatbreads, tzatsiki, dukka aubergine a and peppers...

Flatbreads:

250g plain flour
250g strong white flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast

Mix all of the dry ingredients and then add 325ml warm water and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix and then knead for 5-10mins. Drizzle a bit of olive oil in a clean bowl and place the dough in the bowl, rolling it around until a film of oil covers the dough. Leave in a warm place covered by a tea towel for 2 hours to rise. Poke the dough until it returns to a normal size then split into 8 pieces. Each piece makes a flatbread, so if you need less than 8 freeze the rest in cling film. Roll the flatbreads into circles 2-3mm thick and leave to rest for 5 mins. Next heat a pan on a very high heat and place in the dough, watching until it bubbles on top and is browned underneath, then flip and repeat. Take the flatbread out of the pan and pour garlic olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Keep warm until ready to serve.

Tzatsiki:

Half a cucumber
100g Greek yoghurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 clove garlic
Olive oil
Paprika

Peel the cucumber than grate. Squeeze in a muslin cloth or tea towel to remove the water. Stir in all of the ingredients and your done!

Dukka aubergine:

Dukka mix (ready made is so much easier!)
Aubergine
Plain flour
One egg

Slice the aubergine into 3cm circles.
Whisk the egg. Dip the aubergine into the flour, egg then dukka. Fry gently for 5 mins on each side.

Roast peppers (pretty self explanatory!)

Hope you love it :)
