Falafel is a delicious vegetarian fast food. Today, falafel is enjoyed around the world. Falafel is made of ground garbanzo beans (or chickpeas) that are deep fried and served in a variety of ways.


History

The origin of falafel is unconfirmed. It is said that falafel originated in Alexandria, Egypt. Falafel has been considered the national food of Egypt, Palestine, and Israel. Falafel became so popular internationally that McDonald’s briefly featured a “McFalafel” on their menu.


Preparation

The key ingredient in falafel is fresh, raw garbanzo beans. These are important in preparing a falafel ball that binds together without falling apart when cooked. Raw garbanzos must first be shucked and then mashed into a paste. This paste is combined with garlic, parsley, scallions, and spices like cumin and coriander. The mixture is then formed into balls and deep fried.


Fresh, raw garbanzo beans are green in color.
