Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Add basmati rice, currants and a pinch of salt and cook, uncovered, over high heat until tender, 12 minutes. Drain. • Return to saucepan. Add the butter and baby spinach leaves and stir to melt and combine. Season to taste. Cover to keep warm.

2

• Meanwhile, cut or tear each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). • Roughly chop tomato, cucumber and mint. • In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumber, mint and a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a small bowl, combine dill & parsley mayonnaise, Greek-style yoghurt and a splash of water. Season to taste.

3

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). • When oil is hot, cook falafels, tossing, until deep golden brown, 4-6 minutes. • In last minute of cook time, add garlic & herb seasoning and sesame seeds and toss to combine. • Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.

4

• Divide currant-butter rice between bowls. • Top with sesame falafel, tomato mint salsa and herby sauce to serve. Enjoy!
