    I'm sure this is a fine falafel recipe, but legumes (beans, peanuts, lentils, etc are not kosher for passover... so it is a moot point to post this recipe...

    I think it was too bland and the seasonings should have been doubled. It wasn't greasy which I liked, but it needed more flavor and was kind of dry
