Love comes from the natural warmest

I used fava beans and soaked them overnight - the recipe for falafels is quite simple but the result was a disaster. They looked perfect but I couldn't eat themLadybird wrote:well geraldine i am told by ny husband fava beans are used but yes you can use chick peas but make sure you soak them long like overnight or perhaps buy a tin ready to use:o

No I didn't because it didn't say so in either of the recipes I have. Now I bought 2 kg fava beans from Cairo and will try again. The (supposed) fava beans i bought from Finland, they look a bit different So maybe they weren't right kind of beans. They were called 'broad beans' which in many places are stated to be the same as fava beans but also I've read somewhere that they are NOT. I will report later what will happen this timeLadybird wrote: well geraldine if you soaked them overnight did you cook them,i also suggested to try ready tinned chick peas which are ready to use :idea:
