I agree with almost everyone on the comments, that the picture is definitely attractive. I have tasted falafel before from a friend but the only difference is that the sandwich has slices of hard boiled egg. I was told that they usually have falafel sandwich for breakfast or for morning snack before lunch.

Woah, that is a massive sandwich! I’d need a knife and fork to eat it. I’ve never heard of banana peppers before, what do they taste like?

Rehaam – Thanks for the tip about adding egg whites. I’ve read all about taamiyya and look forward to making them with lima beans one day soon. A hard boiled egg doesn’t sound like a bad addition at all.

Actually this is very authentic. I’m Egyptian and we serve our falafel (although here in Cairo we call them taamiyya, not falafel) with lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, tomatoes and tahini. Pickled turnips are also very middle eastern and we eat them with falafal all the time. My personal favorite addition is a fried or hardboiled egg. It may sound strange, but since it’s a breakfast item for us, it works.

In Egypt, we eat falafel made from fava beans as they’re not quite as dense as garbanzo beans. I personally like to whisk up an egg white and add it to my mixture as it makes it much crunchier and more airy than regular falafel.

What a wonderful and comprehensive blog … I could eat that photograph!

I’m an occasional contributor to an opinion blog (mostly about mysticism) that sometimes (4 times a year) features recipes for Middle Eastern or Persian cuisine.

My favorite sandwich. And altho my cooking generally rocks, I would be so much happier if I could eat the one in the photo….it is gorgeous and makes my bowl of lentil soup look pathetically sad. I have bookmarked you, and am coming back. I have got to find those pickled turnips….
