    I love falafel, who doesn’t ? Great recipe ! I love Lebanese food and gastronomy, it’s the best in the world. I’m from Norway, I got the chance to study Arabic at the American University of Beirut eight years ago, it was wonderful.... beautiful country, people, rich culture and history. This is Lebanon in a nutshell. Shokran!

    If you use that kind of bread, I can really recommend, to tear it apart, so that you have two round sheets. Then wrap everything in one of the layers and then the other layer around. It holds better like this and the bread gets a nicer consistency. All the good falafel stores here make it like this.

    What a great recipe, I swapped the flour for chickpea flour as I have some to hand, this keeps it gluten free and seems to be a very logical swap if it's simply to mop up excess moisture. Love the tahini sauce too. I have been making these weekly now, they're that good!
