1 packet

¾ cup
water (for the couscous)
¼ cup
water (for the sauce)
• Preheat oven to 240ºC/220ºC fan-forced. • Cut cauliflower (including stalk!) into small florets. Cut 1/2 the carrot into bite-sized chunks. Cut onion into wedges. • Place cauliflower, onion and chopped carrot on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with chermoula spice blend, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes.
• In a medium saucepan, combine water (for the couscous) and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. • Add couscous and stir to combine. • Cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until the water has absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
• While the couscous is cooking, grate the remaining carrot. • In a medium bowl, combine grated carrot, falafel mix and fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients). • Using damp hands, roll and press heaped tablespoons of falafel mixture into small balls (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate.
• In a large frying pan, heat olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) over medium-high heat. • When oil is hot, cook falafels, turning, until browned and heated through, 5-7 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Ensuring the oil in the pan is hot before cooking gives the falafels a crispy texture and prevents them from sticking.
• Wipe out and return frying pan to medium-high heat, with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook Moroccan curry paste, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add coconut milk and water(for the sauce) and cook until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • To the saucepan with couscous, add roasted veggies and baby spinach leaves and stir to combine.
• Roughly chop roasted almonds. • Divide roast veggie couscous and falafels between plates. Top with Moroccan curry sauce. • Garnish with almonds. Enjoy!
