Instructions

Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber into half-moons. Grate the carrot. Finely chop the garlic. Roughly chop the herbs and roasted almonds. In a small bowl, combine the garlic dip, a splash of water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic, plant-based butter and 1/2 the carrot, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. Add the vegetable stock powder and the water and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.

In a medium bowl, combine the falafel mix, fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and the remaining carrot. Using damp hands, shape heaped tablespoons of the mixture into small balls. Transfer to a plate. You should get 3 falafels per person.

TIP: Cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded!
