Egyptian Fava Bean Sandwich (Ta'miya Falafel)
Ah, the ultimate Egyptian street sandwich! As you wander through the alleyways of Cairo, the intoxicating aroma of these golden fava bean fritters envelops you at every corner. This ta'miya, the Egyptian version of falafel, is much softer and more fragrant than its Lebanese cousin, thanks to freshly ground fava beans and generous herbs. Each bite is a journey: the crispy exterior gives way to a tender, herbaceous heart, elevated by cumin. And served piping hot in pita bread with a creamy tahini sauce, it's pure bliss. So, ready to recreate this legendary street food at home?
