Falafel is a Middle Eastern recipe that is basically mashed chickpeas with herbs and seasonings formed into patties and fried.

It’s considered a traditional food in Lebanon and Middle Eastern countries, made with only a few ingredients, and served plain with tahini sauce, hummus, or garlic sauce for dipping, or as a falafel sandwich or falafel wrap. The patties have an irresistible crispy exterior and soft bright green interior.

While it originated in the Middle East, falafel today is a very popular street food worldwide. In many regions, it’s also made with fava beans.
