What is a Fallafel
This recipe is made of chickpeas or broad bean balls fried in oil. It has its origins in Egypt. Later, the Fallafel conquered nearby regions corresponding to Syria and Lebanon, and are nowadays eaten everywhere in the Middle-East.
Very popular notably in Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, the Fallafels are known by the name of “tamiya”. In Turkey, Jordan and Israel, it is usually not served in a plate but in a sandwich made of pita bread, with raw vegetables and sometimes hummus or “tahini”.
A fallafel may be softened by a sumptuous yogurt sauce, or tahini in the Lebanese and Israeli gastronomy. The Fallafel significates wrap, which comes from the word “mlaff”, as it is eaten in the form of a sandwich. It may also refer to the word “flayfle” which significates spices.
