1: Start by draining and rinsing your chickpeas. Dry them with a towel and remove as much skin as possible. Transfer to a food processor and blend until coarse but fine. It should not become a purée. Transfer to a mixing bowl. 2: In that same food processor, add cilantro, shallots, and garlic. Process until minced. Add to chickpeas. 3: In your mixing bowl, add egg, spices, and drained bread. Mix very well. The mixture should hold a shape when pressed together. Store in the fridge for one hour or more. 4: Heat to medium-high heat. Add oil. Add meat and break it apart. Add spices and cilantro and mix until meat is fully cooked. Mince the meat mixture in a food processor. 5: When ready to fry falafel, heat a pot of at least 3 inches of oil. 6: To assemble falafel, form eight circles with the falafel mixture in your hand, pressing a dent in the middle. Add about half a teaspoon of meat inside. Carefully close your falafel over the meat and shape as a ball. 7: Fry in hot oil for about a minute. Eat with your favorite toppings!
