Falafels are balls made of soaked and ground chickpeas or broad beans originating from Middle Eastern cuisine. They are usually deep-fried. They can be eaten as a snack or served as part of a meal, for example on pita bread or in a wrap, with vegetables and sauce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically falafels are seasoned with parsley, onion, and garlic. All these plants can be replaced with wild counterparts: ground elder (Aegopodium podagraria<\/em>), crow garlic (Allium vineale<\/em>), and wild garlic (Allium ursinum<\/em>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
