What dish is considered a symbol of Israeli cuisine worldwide? Of course, it's falafel. Although historians trace the history of these fried chickpea balls back to Egyptian Coptic Christians, who were the first to embrace Christianity and used nutritious chickpeas to replace meat on fasting days, today no guide to Israeli cuisine is complete without a falafel recipe.
