I've made falafel for over 40 years using fava beans. You can also substitute a combination of fava, great northern beans, and split yellow peas.

Safeway is pricey! Sunterra also has it in the fresh meat section. I get frozen 1 lb. chubs at Superstore - $5. Safeway is pricey! Sunterra also has it in the fresh meat section.

Love garlicky tzatziki though! I look for excuses to eat it... I always have tahini in the fridge for hummus, but have never been a huge fan of tahini sauce. Love garlicky tzatziki though!

I haven't made them in ages though since my husband is allergic to chick peas. Pity. I usually make a tahini sauce to go with my falafels. That's super easy as well. Give it a try when you make falafels next time. And, when will you be using the falafels to stuff a chicken? Tomorrow? Can't wait to hear how that turns out! I love fresh falafels.

Any time a recipe says not to do something ("do not overmix muffin batter!") but doesn't give the reason, I want to do what it says NOT to do, just to find out why not (oh, you get tough muffins, yuck, good to know) I love that you give reasons WHY you do things in recipes… like not crowding the pan to avoid cooling the oil.

The only resource that I have been able to come up with is Safeway. $8.00 for a 500 gram tube! ( frozen ) Where is a good place to get ground lamb?
