Flavor & cooking character
Earthy chickpea and cumin with pronounced smoke, savory garlic, sweet paprika and a modest red-chile finish.
Smoke gives the mix a deeper direction, so a heavily smoked sauce can be redundant. Pair with crisp vegetables and a mild creamy element. Follow the complete-mix instructions rather than adding the amount of water you would use for chickpeas in a from-scratch falafel recipe.
What to cook
Falafel sandwiches, wraps, smoky grain bowls, vegetarian burgers, mezze plates, salads and appetizers.
How much to use & when to add it
Use the complete-mix preparation directions below.
Complete-mix preparation
8 oz pouch: Add 1 cup cold water.
1 lb pouch: Add 2 cups cold water.
Mix well, let rest for 20 minutes, form into balls or patties, then cook using the directions on your package.
No soaking. No chopping. No measuring spices.
Use the water amount for your pouch size. For a smaller portion, follow the package’s portion instructions rather than guessing by volume.
Kitchen idea: Smoke Czar grain bowl
Prepare and cook the mix following the package. Serve over rice or another grain with cucumber, tomato and parsley. Add a little lemon and a suitable creamy sauce after tasting, keeping barbecue sauce optional rather than automatic.
