Ah, Lebanese falafel! It's my favorite culinary pilgrimage when I want to rediscover the authentic flavors of Beirut. Imagine: a golden, crispy crust that gives way to a soft, flavorful heart, perfumed with cumin and coriander. You can almost smell the spices dancing in the air. This recipe comes from my aunt, who made them with love for every celebration. Today, I invite you to recreate this little vegetarian miracle at home. It's so simple and rewarding: your fingers sink into the dough, the smell of frying fills the kitchen. And then, when you bite into that falafel, it's like all of Lebanon embracing you.
