Nutrition per serve

Ingredients

• 1pcs tomato
• 1bunch mint
• 1clove garlic
• 2pcs pita pockets
• 200g falafel
• 50g hummus
• 5g harissa seasoning
• 30ml olive oil

• 30ml vegan mayonnaise

Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Preheat the oven to 200C, fan-forced. Finely chop the tomato. Coarsely chop the mint leaves, discarding the stems. Crush 1 garlic clove.
2. Step 2 — Make tabouleh
   Put 1 tbs olive oil and 2 tsp white wine vinegar in a bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the tomato and mint and toss to combine.
3. Step 3 — Warm pitas
   Halve the pita to form 4 pockets, put in a single layer on an oven tray and cover with foil. Heat in the oven for 10 mins or until softened and warmed through.
4. Step 4 — Cook falafel
   Meanwhile, heat 1 tbs olive oil in a medium frypan over medium-high heat. Fry the falafel, turning regularly, for 3-5 mins until golden. Remove the pan from the heat. Combine the hummus, garlic, 1 tsp harissa seasoning (see Make it milder) and 2 tsp water in a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Drain the tabouleh, discarding the liquid. Spread the inside of the pita pockets with the vegan mayonnaise, then fill with the tabouleh and falafel. Drizzle with the harissa hummus and sprinkle with some of the remaining harissa seasoning, to taste. Enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Make it milder
   Harissa is a North African seasoning with a spicy kick. If you aren't keen on too much chilli, adjust the amount to taste or leave it out altogether. Or serve it at the table for those who do like it.
