      Title: Asparagus Falafel
 Categories: Vegetables, Beans, Herbs, Cheese, Greens
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      8 oz Fresh asparagus spears;
           - trimmed, cut up
     15 oz Can chickpeas; rinsed,
           - drained
      3 tb All-purpose flour
      2 tb Snipped fresh parsley
      3 tb Olive oil
      3 cl Garlic; halved
      1 ts Ground cumin
    1/4 ts Salt
    1/8 ts Ground black pepper
           Fresh asparagus tips (opt)
      3 tb Yellow cornmeal
      3 tb Red wine vinegar
  5 1/4 oz Container semi-soft cheese
           - w/fines herbs
      2 c  Mixed salad greens
      4    Pita bread rounds
 
  In a food processor combine the cut up asparagus,
  chickpeas, flour, parsley, 1 tablespoon olive oil,
  garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cover and process
  until finely chopped and mixture holds together (should
  have some visible pieces of chickpeas and asparagus).
  
  Sprinkle half the cornmeal on a small baking sheet. With
  damp hands, shape asparagus mixture into 12 patties. If
  desired, press asparagus tips into the tops of the
  patties. Place patties on prepared baking sheet. Lightly
  sprinkle patties with remaining cornmeal. In a large
  skillet heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high
  heat. Add half the patties. Cook 2 to 3 minutes per side
  or until browned and heated through. Repeat with
  remaining oil and patties.
  
  In a small bowl slowly whisk vinegar into half of the
  semi-soft cheese to make a dressing. Toss dressing with
  mixed greens. Spread pita bread with remaining cheese.
  Place greens on each pita; top with three asparagus
  patties. Fold over to serve.
  
  TO PACK: Prepare falafel and dressing as directed. Cover
  and refrigerate in separate containers overnight. Tote
  falafel, dressing, greens, extra cheese, and pita in
  separate containers in a cooler bag. To serve, assemble
  as directed (if desired, heat falafel before placing on
  pita)
  
  Makes: 4 servings
