Falafel
(1 ratings)Posted by:eliec
Falafel (chick-pea patties) is commonly sold on street corners in every city and town in Israel. Some attribute its popularity to Yemenite Jews who have brought it to Israel – though immigrants from other Arab countries brought their own versions as well. Falafel makes a great vegetarian meal. Serve it in a pita bread pocket with hummus or tahina and chopped lettuce, tomato and cucumber.
