Falafel's origins are debated, but it's widely believed to have originated in Egypt as a meat substitute for Copts during Lent. Over time, it spread throughout the Middle East, evolving into the chickpea-based version popular today. The pita bread sandwich presentation is a more modern development, adapting to street food culture.

The Sanduíche de Falafel boasts a delightful combination of earthy, savory, and fresh flavors, with contrasting textures.
The core flavor comes from the crispy, fried falafel, offering a nutty, herbaceous taste from the chickpeas, herbs (parsley, cilantro), and spices. Hummus provides a creamy, rich, and slightly tangy base. Tahini adds a nutty, sesame-rich flavor and smooth texture. The fresh vegetables (tomato, cucumber, red onion, parsley) contribute a refreshing crispness and subtle sweetness and pungency. The pão folha (pita bread) offers a soft, slightly chewy, and neutral canvas for all the other ingredients.

Falafel Freshness
For the best flavor and texture, use freshly made falafel. If using frozen falafel, ensure it's properly heated and doesn't become soggy.
Hummus Quality
Homemade hummus is ideal, but high-quality store-bought hummus can also work well. Look for a creamy and flavorful hummus.
Pita Warmth
Warming the pita bread slightly before assembling the sandwich will make it more pliable and enhance the overall texture.
Sauce it up
Consider adding a drizzle of hot sauce, amba (pickled mango sauce), or schug (Yemenite hot sauce) for an extra layer of flavor and spice.
