Falafel is a traditional Israeli dish. Little falafel balls are made from crushed chickpeas and spices. Then they’re deep fried. Falafel are often served in a pitta, a type of bread that’s typical to the Middle-East. Houmous, cucumber and tomatoes are added to the pitta to create a heavenly vegetarian sandwich.
