Falafel & Couscous Salad

  • Makes 4 servings
  • Prep time: 15 mins
  • Cooking time: 20 mins

Crispy, fluffy and oh so easy to whip up, this falafel is a delicious form of protein served alongside with a zesty sundried tomato salad.

Tips & Tricks

  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yoghurt or Pams Hummus and a sprinkle of mint.
  • Add garlic and fresh herbs to your falafel for an extra kick of flavour.
  • Make the most of the delicious oil in the Pams Sliced Sundried Tomatoes jar – use this in your falafel and in your couscous for added flavour. Even brush your pita chips with the oil before baking in the oven!

Method

  1. Place 1 of the pita breads in a food processor with a glug of olive oil and blitz until you have fine bread crumbs. Add the chickpeas and cumin, season with salt & pepper and blitz to combine.

  2. With wet hands, roll the falafel into small balls and place on a lined baking tray. Cut the remaining 2 pita breads into triangles and place on the baking tray. Drizzle everything with olive oil and place in the oven to bake for 20 minutes at 180°C, flipping halfway through.

  3. While the falafel is in the oven place the couscous in a bowl with the chopped baby spinach. Season with salt & pepper and cover with 1 1/3 cups of boiling water. Set aside.

  4. After about 5 minutes, fluff up with a fork, add the sundried tomatoes and the sundried tomato oil.

  5. Place the couscous in serving bowls and top with the falafel and pita chips.
