Turkish-Style Falafels, Chicken & Zesty Fries

• Meanwhile, slice tomato into wedges. Finely grate carrot (see ingredients). Thinly slice radish. • In a medium bowl, combine carrot, garlic& herb seasoning, falafel mix and fine breadcrumbs (see ingredients).

If you've added chicken breast strips, after toasting almonds, return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken strips, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 3-4 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook chicken strips, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes.

TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.

• Using damp hands, roll and press heaped tablespoons of falafel mix into small balls (4-5 per person). Transfer to a plate. • Return the frying pan to 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). 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.

• Meanwhile, combine mixed salad leaves, tomato, radish and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil in a large bowl. • Season to taste.
