Like hummus, falafel is a Palestinian staple whose popularity has spread far and wide. It now appears on restaurant menus throughout Europe and America, as well as in food kiosks in malls, food trucks and stalls at international food festivals. Falafel is nourishing and tasty and can be served with a variety of salads and relishes – in a sandwich, on a plate or as finger food. I like to serve them hot with a traditional salad, tahini sauce or garlic yoghurt, or as a sandwich in kmaj bread.
