Steps:
- Put the chickpeas in a large bowl and add enough cold water to cover them by at least 2 inches. Let soak overnight, then drain. Or use canned chickpeas, drained.
- Place the drained, uncooked chickpeas and the onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse. You want to add enough bulgur or flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.
- Form the chickpea mixture into balls about the size of walnuts, or use a falafel scoop, available in Middle-Eastern markets.
- Heat 3 inches of oil to 375ºF in a deep pot or wok and fry 1 ball to test. If it falls apart, add a little flour. Then fry about 6 balls at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Stuff half a pita with falafel balls, chopped tomatoes, onion, green pepper, and pickled turnips. Drizzle with tahina thinned with water.
- NOTE: Egyptians omit the cilantro and substitute fava beans for the chickpeas.

- Tahina (also called tahini) is an oily paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is available in Middle Eastern markets and on Amazon. To garnish your falafel in true Israeli style, try adding one or several of the following condiments: harissa hot sauce, pickled turnip, mango amba (pickle), or sauerkraut.

- To a hot grill pan, add flatbread to mark and warm on each side for 1 minute. Remove. Add 2 to 3 patties to each warm flatbread. Top with some arugula, tomato, onion and Smoky Tahini Sauce
- In a bowl, whisk all ingredients until a creamy consistency is reached.

- The first step is to soak the dried chickpeas in water for 24 hours. They will double in size after doing so. Then, drain the chickpeas from the water thoroughly.
- Add the chickpeas along with all the other ingredients under falafel mix into a food processor and blend for several minutes until paste-like. This may take a few minutes and may require using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides down. You may have to do this in 2 batches depending on the size of your processor.
- At this point, you can either use the whole mix which will make about 40 pieces of falafel or you can split into 2 batches. One batch put in a ziplock bag and frozen for use at a later time. The other can be used for the present. This is completely up to you!
- The batch that you would like to use, add 1/2 a tsp of baking soda to it and mix together. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes before use. Note~ The frozen batch once defrosted will need 1/2 a tsp baking soda added to it before use.

- Drain and rinse the chickpeas, reserving about 3-4 tablespoons of the liquid. Dry the chickpeas well and set aside.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the reserved liquid over the bread and allow it to soak in. Squeeze the bread dry, then put the bread and chickpeas into a food processor and process until a soft paste forms. You may need to do this in batches. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- Put the onion into the processor and process until finely chopped. Add the chopped onion to the chickpea mixture. Process the garlic and cilantro until finely chopped and add them to the chickpea mixture. Add the coriander, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper to the mixture and season to taste with pepper. Stir to combine. Sprinkle the flour and baking powder over the mixture. Use your hands to mix until a soft dough forms, adding more of the reserved liquid if necessary.
- Use wet hands to shape the mixture into walnut-size balls and set them on a baking sheet. Felafel can be prepared ahead of time to this point, then refrigerated until time to cook.

- In a large food processor, place the chickpeas (they will be plump but still raw at this point), shallot, garlic, lemon zest, cumin, coriander, salt, cayenne, baking powder, cilantro, parsley, and olive oil. Pulse until well combined but not pureed. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Use a 2-tablespoon scoop and your hands to form the mixture into 12 to 15 thick patties (be careful not to pack them too tight or your falafel will be dense). If they're not holding together, give the mixture a few more pulses in the food processor.
- Place the patties on the baking sheet. Drizzle generously with olive oil (this is the key to making these moist and crisp since we're not frying) and bake for 14 minutes. Flip and bake for 10 to 12 minutes more or until golden brown and crisp on the outside. During the last few minutes of baking, wrap the pita in foil and warm in the oven.
