Falafel Mix
"Falafel Mix is a traditional Mediterranean recipe of ground fava beans, chickpeas and spices that's chock full of flavor, and capable of creating the fried (or baked) Falafel of your dreams. Fragrant cumin and coriander and savory garlic and onion permeate the coarse dough, which bakes to an aromatically rich, golden brown. This handy Mix takes some of the work out of making falafel at home, while yielding restaurant-quality results-and did we mention it's vegan, gluten free and kosher (pareve), too? For a dreamy meal, serve the finished fritters in a pita or atop a bed of crisp, chopped romaine, with fresh herbs and a generous drizzle of tahini. You could also put together a marvelous mezze, surrounding your falafel with a moat of Trader Joe's Tzatziki, Mediterranean Hummus, Cauliflower Tabbouleh, Dolmas, and warmed flatbread. Or stuff the Falafel Mix with crumbled feta before you cook it for a warm, cheesy "surprise!""
