We cook falafel Cutlets from chickpeas can be considered as a separate dish, and one of the components of falafel. Falafel is very popular in the Middle East as fast food: several chickpeas, cucumbers, tomatoes, hummus (paste made from chickpeas pasta), chips and lavishly stuffed with thina (or tahini with sauce from sesame seeds) are placed in thin bread. In Israel, it is sold everywhere: on the corners of streets, in shops, portable trays, kiosks. Falafel is also very common in Egypt and Lebanon. This is not surprising, falafel not only delicious, but also very easy. Nut contains highly essential for human health substances - the very proteins and minerals that significantly reduce the likelihood of cancer and heart disease, as well as slow the aging process of the skin.
