Falafel
Originally falafel balls were made out of fava beans, chickpeas or some combination of both. These
days, falafel balls are usually made out of chickpeas (also called garbanzo beans), but you can still
find other variations depending on where you buy your falafel.

The chickpeas are soaked, then ground up, and seasoned with onions, scallions and spices like
parsley, garlic, cumin and coriander. Then, the mixture is shaped into balls and deep-fried in a large
vat. The oil has to be hot enough so that when you drop the balls in, the outside gets nice and crispy
and the inside doesn’t get too oily – a delicate balance that the best falafel makers have achieved.

The falafel balls are often served wrapped in a hollow pita shell and garnished with fixings like
tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles and sometimes even French fries. Falafel restaurants offer other
garnishes as well, such as eggplant salad, shredded beets or pickled vegetables. The whole
sandwich is coated with hummus, drizzled with tahini and, if you’re so inclined, topped with a spicy
sauce as well.

WHAT DOES FALAFEL TASTE LIKE?


Everyone has a different recipe that they use when making falafel, but since the ingredients are
mostly the same, they tend to have a similar flavor profile. Falafel is made from chickpeas or fava
beans, but since those don’t have a particularly strong flavor on their own, it gets most of its flavors
from other ingredients. This means that falafel will tend to taste like the included ingredients, such
as: Onions, Spices, such as coriander and cumin, Fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, Lemon.

FALAFEL TEXTURE
When made and fried correctly, falafel are light and airy on the inside, with a crispy outside that
isn’t hard to break through with your teeth. They are perfect when covered with a light sauce, and
the inside of the falafel will readily soak up any moisture. When not fried correctly, falafel can tend
to be oily, greasy, and heavy.
