New recipes of Falafel were formulated and evaluated regarding acceptability, proximate chemical composition and nutritive value. Soybean meal and/or cotyledons were used to substitute for faba bean at different levels (i.e. zero , 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100. Data indicated that blends of faba bean (20) and soybean meal and/or cotyledons (80) were the most acceptable recipes compared to the control (100 faba bean) as well as the other substitution levels. Blending soybean with faba bean led to appreciable improvement in some essential amino acids. The in vitro digestibility for soybean blends were comparable to the control.
