Why Falafel deserves more attention

Falafel rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The aromatic with herbs and spice complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using za'atar correctly takes real skill.

the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. I encountered it first in a Beirut street stall and that context helped me understand it properly. strong cardamom coffee is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Falafel is the dish to start with.
