Shakshuka - This iconic Israeli dish consists of eggs poached in a vibrant tomato sauce seasoned with cumin, paprika, and chili peppers. It's typically cooked and served in a skillet, accompanied by fresh bread for dipping into the savory, slightly spicy mixture. Often enjoyed for breakfast or brunch, shakshuka can also be a satisfying vegetarian lunch or dinner option.

Falafel - These delicious, crispy fritters are made from ground chickpeas or sometimes fava beans, mixed with herbs and spices such as parsley, cilantro, garlic, and cumin. They're then deep-fried until golden brown and served in pita bread as part of a sandwich called a falafel wrap, often accompanied by tahini sauce, vegetables, and pickles. Falafel is a popular street food and a staple in Israeli and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Hummus - This classic Israeli dip or spread is made from mashed cooked chickpeas blended with lemon juice, garlic, and sesame paste (tahini). It's typically served as an appetizer or side dish, accompanied by fresh vegetables, pita bread, or other types of flatbread for scooping up the creamy, slightly tangy hummus. Hummus is a popular and versatile plant-based option that can be found throughout Israel and the Mediterranean region.
