• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. Cut beetroot into small chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chermoula spice blend and season with salt. • Toss to coat, spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grate carrot (see ingredients). Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Roughly chop roasted almonds.
• In a medium bowl, combine carrot, falafel mix, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and a pinch of salt. • Using damp hands, roll and press heaped tablespoons of falafel mix into small balls (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). When oil is hot, cook falafels, turning, until browned and heated through, 5-7 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • Remove pan from heat, then add apricot sauce (see ingredients) and toss falafels to coat.
TIP: Ensuring the oil in the pan is hot before cooking gives the falafels a crispy texture and prevents them from sticking.
• In a second medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, cucumber, almonds and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide apricot-glazed falafels, chermoula veggies and almond salad between plates. • Serve with garlic dip. Enjoy!
