Falafel
Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas or fava beans formed into seasoned balls or patties and deep-fried until crispy. These protein-rich vegetarian fritters are flavored with aromatic herbs and spices such as cumin, coriander, and parsley, creating a distinctively savory profile. The cooked falafel features a crispy exterior surrounding a tender, herb-flecked interior, and is commonly served in pita bread or as part of a mezze platter.
