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.
