Cooking steps
1
- Pour 600ml water (per 2P) into a pot, stir in the stock and bring to the boil.
- Stir in the pearled couscous, bring back up to the boil and simmer, covered, 12-15 mins.
- Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, trim the green beans and then chop into thirds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Roughly chop the parsley.
- Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the falafel for 3-5 mins, turning frequently for even cooking.
- Remove from the pan, cover and set aside.
3
- Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry green beans and cherry tomatoes until starting to char, 3-4 mins. Stir in the ras-el-hanout and cinnamon and fry for 1 min.
- Add passata, ½ tsp sugar (per 2P) and 2 tbsp water (per 2P). Cover and simmer until the veg is tender, 4-5 mins.
- To finish, mix through the harissa paste, honey and a knob of butter.
- Add a splash of water to loosen the sauce if you feel it's too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
4
- Just before serving, toss the falafel through the sauce to coat.
- Mix two-thirds of the parsley into the couscous, fluffing it up as you go. Mix the remaining parsley with the yoghurt.
- Divide the herby couscous between deep plates or bowls.
- Top with the falafel and veg.
- Finish with a drizzle of parsley yoghurt.
