Best Ta'ameya
in Sharm El Sheikh
Egyptian Ta'ameya is the world's most sophisticated falafel, distinguished from its Levantine cousins by the use of dried fava beans instead of chickpeas. This swap results in a much lighter, fluffier interior and a vibrant green color from the heavy use of leeks, parsley, and coriander. The mixture is seasoned with a precise blend of cumin and garlic, then deep-fried into golden-brown patties that are often coated in sesame seeds for extra crunch. In Sharm, Ta'ameya is the mandatory partner to Ful for breakfast, served in a warm pita with tahini sauce and salad. The trap is eating Ta'ameya that has been sitting under a heat lamp; it must be fried to order so that the exterior remains shattering and the interior is hot and fragrant.
