Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients) and red radish. 
• Roughly chop tomato and baby spinach leaves.
• In a small bowl, combine plant-based aioli, plant-based basil pesto and 
the water (for the sauce).

Make the onion couscous
2

• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. 
Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add lemon pepper seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add the water (for the couscous) and salt and bring to the boil. 
• Add couscous, stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from heat.
• Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork. Season 
to taste with salt and pepper. 

Cook the falafels
3

• Meanwhile, cut or tear each spinach falafel into quarters (don’t worry if 
they crumble!).
• 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, tossing, until deep 
golden brown, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. 

Finish & serve
4

• In a large bowl, combine tomato, radish, spinach, falafels and a drizzle of the 
vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste and toss to combine.
• Divide onion couscous between bowls. Top with Mediterranean falafel and 
crisp tomato medley. Drizzle over plant-based pesto aioli. Sprinkle over 
flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
