FALAFEL
You shouldn't reject deep-frying at home; I do it about once a month. It can be fast and easy, and you can deep-fry plants. (And anything else.) Frying is thought of as messy, but this can be mitigated by the simplest of measures: using a pot that is heavy, broad and deep, like a well-made stockpot. Choose this, add a fair amount of oil, and the process is simplified and neat. Add your food in batches and don't crowd; you do not want the temperature to plummet, nor do you want the pieces of food nestling against one another. (Though it's fine if they bump.) You may or may not have to turn the pieces, but that's easy, because they'll be floating and they won't stick. Remove them with a slotted spoon, tongs or spider; you'll know when they're done because the color will be evenly gorgeous.

Steps:
- Put beans in a large bowl and cover with water by 3 to 4 inches - they will triple in volume as they soak. Soak for 24 hours, checking once or twice to see if you need to add water to keep the beans covered.
- Drain beans well and transfer to a food processor with all the remaining ingredients except the oil; pulse until minced but not puréed; add water tablespoon by tablespoon if necessary to allow the machine to do its work, but keep the mixture as dry as possible. (Too much water and your falafel will fall apart. If that happens, add more ground beans.) Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, cayenne or a little more lemon juice as needed.
- Put at least 2 to 3 inches of oil (more is better) in a large deep saucepan (the narrower the pan, the less oil you need; but the more oil you use, the more you can cook at one time). Turn heat to medium high and heat oil to about 350 (a pinch of batter will sizzle immediately; a piece of falafel will sink halfway to the bottom, then rise).
- Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into balls or small patties. Fry in batches, without crowding, until nicely browned, turning as necessary; total cooking time per batch will be less than 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

SANTA FE FALAFEL
This is a recipe that I got from February 2008 Redbook and just tried today. My really picky 11 year old just loved it and wanted more (he ate his without any onions or tomatoes though)! I made a couple of changes that suited my tastes, so here is my updated version.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain beans and mash with a fork or potato masher until a fine puree forms. Add cheese, finely crushed tortilla chips, minced scallions, finely chopped bell pepper, finely chopped cilantro, crushed garlic, seasoning, and egg white.
- Stir until well combined.
- Shape 1/4 cupfuls into 8 (3-inch) patties.
- Spray a non-stick griddle or large skillet with Pam cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Cook falafel 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and heated through.
- Place a falafel in each pita with a slice each of onion and tomato, and shredded lettuce.
- Mix sour cream, lime zest and lime juice and add a dollop to your falafel.
