Cooking instruction summary:

PREPARE CHICKPEAS: Allow the chickpeas to soak overnight in a bowl, covered with about 3-inches cold water. Using a colander or strainer, drain and rinse the chickpeas well.MAKE THE FALAFEL: In the bowl of a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, add the chickpeas, chopped onion, parsley, garlic cloves, flour, salt, cumin, coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cardamomPour them into your food processor along with the chopped onion, garlic cloves, parsley, flour, salt, cumin, ground coriander, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cardamom.Pulse until a rough, coarse meal forms, scraping down the sides of the processor bowl as needed.Process continuously until the texture is paste-like. Don't over-process though or you will make hummus! Once it reaches the desired consistency, pour the mixture into a bowl. If there are any especially large chickpea chunks in the mixture, remove them. Cover and refrigerate mixture 1-2 hours.In a small bowl, combine lemon juice and baking soda. Stir lemon mixture into chickpea mixture with a fork until thoroughly combined. (This step is optional, but produces a slightly fluffier falafel).Fill a skillet with oil to a depth of 1 ½ inches. Heat oil over medium heat.Meanwhile, using hand or an spring-release scoop, form falafel mixture into rounded tablespoon-sized balls ( make slider-shaped patties by pressing down on balls slightly). Balls may seem loose, but will bind when fried.TEST: Drop one falafel ball into the oil to use as a tester for the mixture's consistency and temperature. Fry, rotating the ball around the oil until all sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. If you have trouble with the ball holding together after frying, return them to the food processor and continue to process until more paste-like. If they still won't hold after frying, you can add 2-3 tablespoons more of flour.Fry remaining falafels, rotating the balls around the oil until all sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.Serve on wraps with vegetables and tzatziki sauce or tahini dressing.

Food Joke

The housewife answered a knock on the door and found a total stranger standing on the doorstep. "Excuse me for disturbing you, ma'am," he said politely, "but I pass your house every morning on my way to work, and I've noticed that every day you appear to be hitting your son on the head with a loaf of bread." "That's right." "Every day you hit him on the head with a loaf of bread, and yet this morning you were beating him with a chocolate cake." "Well, today is his birthday."
