• 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).

• 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 the salt and bring to the boil. Add couscous, stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. • Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with fork. Season to taste.

• 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 the oil is hot, cook falafels, tossing, until deep golden brown, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

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