Falafel

Some dishes exist to comfort and Falafel is absolutely in that category. The fresh and citrusy quality works on something almost primal — you feel the warmth of it immediately. sumac does work that no substitute can replicate. the cuisine shares roots with the broader Levantine tradition. There's s…

I've now had Falafel prepared traditionally and in a modern interpretation. Both are interesting.
