Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the tomato and cucumber into 1cm pieces. Pick and roughly chop the mint leaves. Roughly chop the parsley leaves.

Make the sauce
2

In a small bowl, combine the tahini, Greek yoghurt, a generous squeeze of lemon juice (see ingredients list) and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.

TIP: Taste the sauce and add more lemon juice, salt or pepper if you like!

Make couscous
3

In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and crumbled vegetable stock (1 cube for 2 people / 2 cubes for 4 people). Bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and stir through the mint and parsley. Set aside, uncovered, to cool.

Fetta Salsa
4

While the couscous is cooking, heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the tomato, cucumber, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Crumble in the fetta and mix to combine.

Cook the falafels
5

Use your hands to break each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). Return the medium frying pan to a medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan. When the oil is hot, add the falafel and cook, tossing, until deep golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Season the falafel with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Serve up
6

Divide the couscous, spinach falafel and fetta salsa between bowls and top with the tahini sauce. Sprinkle with the flaked almonds and serve with the lemon wedges.

TIP: For the low-calorie option, omit the almonds.
