Cooking Steps

Make the Couscous
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.

Fry the Falafel
2
  • Meanwhile, trim the green beans and then chop into thirds. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. 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. 
Simmer the Sauce
3
  • Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil
  • Once hot, fry green beans, cherry tomatoes and shallot until starting to char, 3-4 mins. Stir in the ras-el-hanout 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.
Finish and Serve
4
  • Mix the parsley into the couscous, fluffing it up as you go.
  • Divide the herby couscous between deep plates or bowls.
  • Top with the falafel and veg, drizzling over any sauce remaining in the pan.
