The Great Falafel Sandwich

In Israel, falafel sandwich is definitely the most popular food.

Each country has its signature sandwich: peanut butter and jelly in the United States, cucumber sandwiches, tea in the UK, French bread and cheese. Israel, which will be Pitashala on sandwich.

And, as in the Middle East and many other things, this is a hot potato. Israel and Jordan, diplomats and nearly caused a diplomatic crisis in 2007 when, at a cocktail party, each of the countries declared their national dish falafel sandwich in Japan. Lebanon had actually been indicted by the Tribunal that the copyright infringement of trade Israeli falafel. (I think it dropped the case, when the Court of International Trade recognized that the future will be a Italian pizza infringement Qisu the United States, after China, will attend the national drink and Belgium Zicheng indicted cooperation should be how to correctly choose the French tea was Belgian fries!)

So let out the political talk, break bread together in peace and consent, a good but ordinary delicious falafel.

In Israel, you will find in the street kiosk selling falafel, it is still the best meal, you will find this to. Salad sandwich is a versatile, too: Let them small, they are at a party as an elegant appetizer.

Homemade falafel recipe different, depending on the part of chefs in the Middle East from families. The basic components of ground chickpeas, mixed with eggs, chopped coriander, cumin and ground coriander. Some people will join the chopped onion, other swear you need a tehina paste (ground sesame spoon). Personally, I do not think this is a not a lot of red pepper, chopped parsley and throw, only genuine piece salad sandwich

Or add some bread crumbs, more real, ground bulghur, and roll into a ball paste. Fried until golden ball. Drain on paper towels. If your health conscious, you can still baking and not frying them for a delicious falafel balls. Spread in the baking dish the ball, Spritz a little olive oil on them, and to ensure that no more than baking.

Does this sound too complicated? Take it easy - grab falafel combo box! You will find most of the ethnic food section of large supermarkets. This is a great party aides, and only a few minutes of preparation time.

A typical fast food about 1 inch wide, but you can make them the size of a hamburger or a small olive.

To make a real Israeli falafel sandwich, cut a pita. Pita line with tehina or chummus pockets filled with lettuce, chopped cucumber and tomatoes, and place it in the top few falafel balls. If you wish, put hot sauce.

You will see other options include chopped pickles and fried eggplant. Experimental and creative.

In a globalized concessions, so now a lot of booths chips added to their falafel sandwich, many young Israelis are no longer remember that they are not part of the original transaction. Authentic or not - as strange as it may become a healthy pita chips on the things - this is surprisingly good.
