You have to add tahini paste for an authentic hummus and THAT IS SO NOT HOW YOU MAKE FALAFEL!!!

RECIPE TO A TRADITIONAL LEBANESE FALAFEL:
I've got no measurements sorted out as my grandma does this to sight and taste later on but here are the ingredients:
For Falafel:
- Chickpeas
- Dried coriander
- Powdered Cumin
- Powdered Cayenne Pepper
- Salt & Pepper
- Chopped Onion & Garlic (Optional, not usually added)
- Fava beans (optional)


Condiments for the sandwich:
- Flatbread
- Tomatoes
- Parsley


For Yogurt-Tahini paste:
- Yogurt
- Tahini Paste (can be found in any Arab-delights importing store)
- Lemon
- Garlic clove (if desirable)


Directions:
1. Soak the chickpeas in water overnight
2. Peel the chickpeas and put them in a mixer
3. Add the dried coriander, cumin, cayenne, salt and pepper to the mixture until it's smooth
4. Place the mixture in a bowl and cover it. Let it rest for half an hour
5. Crumble the falafel mixture into small balls and fry them for a couple of minutes in fryer/pot/deep pan full of vegetable oil
6. Prep the yogurt-tahini sauce that you drizzle over the falafel by:
a. grinding a garlic clove
b. add tahini paste and a bit of water
c. Finely mix them together until ingredients are incorporated and then add a bit of yogurt
d. Add salt and pepper to taste


7. Place the falafel on the flatbread and add tomatoes, pickled cucumbers, minced parsley and drizzle the tahini-yogurt paste (you can add hot sauce/paste if you wish).


And that's it! Sahtein (bon appetit)

I grew up in a Lebanese family... my mom used to make these all the time and trust me that is not how falafel is suppose to be, or hummus, or fattouch

[divinejustice]

This looks delish! Love making healthy Mediterranean meals. Thanks for this video!

[zo.yeahhh]

I think you guys should rename the title as "Mediterranean *inspired* recipes​" and also add "inspired" next time you post any regional recipes otherwise people will keep getting​ offended and complain.

[wentyholic]

These are not falafel
This is not fattouch
And that is definitely NOT hummus
🤦🏼‍♀️

When you are Mediterranean and all you think it's "that needs more garlic"

Also wtf is allspice

[nadayousef]

Now I know how Italians feel when the rest of the world tries to cook pizza 🤦‍♀️

[shogan]

What? No tahina in the hummus and CUMIN!
And WHAT did you add to the falafel???

[erdrinhaxhiaj]

The best thing about Mediterranean food is how it smells ❤

Some people here needs to open a geography book. Mediterranean doesn’t mean Europe. Middle Eastern food can still be considered Mediterranean.

According to Wikipedia : The countries surrounding the Mediterranean in clockwise order are Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Albania, Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel/Palestine, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco; Malta and Cyprus are island countries in the sea.

EDIT : According to Wikipedia not me ffs.

Moroccan and Spanish food are an absolute top for me so so good i love those 2 countries and their history

[SG-qlgq]

No actual arab peels their chickpeas to make hummus or put breadcrumbs in their falafel lol

[furat]

Pro Mediterranean tip: don’t follow any of these recipes.

[pamelawilson]

The food looks amazing. Also I want info on that soundtrack PLEASE.

[faROCK]

Yes, we all know these recipes aren't very accurate. But some of you guys are saying this is Arab, not Mediterranean. Foods like Falafel existed in the Mediterranean Levant countries like Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, and also countries like Egypt wayyy before they ever became Arab people.
So yes, this is MEDITERRANEAN!

This is so timely. You always know when to post your videos. 💕💕

I'm a Syrian cook, from Aleppo and still living here. You get an A+ from me.
P.S. that Shawarma is excellent.

I don't really know Mediterranean food, but it looks mouth-watering!
