lunch fit for a bedouin king
For a little something to accompany those three cups of Arabian coffee:
Garlic-Yogurt Naan
In 1/4 C olive oil, saute 3 T of crushed garlic until lightly browned. Cool to room temperature.
Slightly warm 2 C of plain yogurt as a base for dough. Add the garlic & oil, 2 tsp salt, 1 T sugar, 1 T yeast and a few cups of flour to begin kneading. Keep adding flour until dough forms a ball. Knead (or process in your Bosch) for 10 minutes. Cover and let rise. Punch down and cut into lemon-sized sections. Form into a ball and roll with rolling pin on a floured surface. The dough should be 1/4" thin and about 8" round. Arrange on oiled cookie sheets. Prick with a fork all over. Bake at 450 degrees for only a few minutes or until they are puffed and browned.
Serve with hummus and good quality olives. It makes a large basketful, but the leftovers are just as scrumptious! For the purist, you can even make your own yogurt & hummus.

Sounds good, we'll have to give it a try.
I would love to see you post a good hummus recipe. If you do, I'll be sure to give it a try!
