I’m from Norway, I got the chance to study Arabic at the American University of Beirut eight years ago, it was wonderful.... beautiful country, people, rich culture and history. This is Lebanon in a nutshell. Shokran!

    If you use that kind of bread, I can really recommend, to tear it apart, so that you have two round sheets. Then wrap everything in one of the layers and then the other layer around. It holds better like this and the bread gets a nicer consistency. All the good falafel stores here make it like this.

      @@anncarroll7354 I get it! We have a local Lebanese restaurant about 4 blocks from where I live and I can get it there, but why when it looks so easy to make. I plan to try it this weekend.
