  1. CARAMELISED CARROTS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the cab sauv vinegar, 2.5ml of a sweetener of choice, and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy, shifting halfway.

  2. TOASTED ALMONDS

    Place the slivered almonds in a nonstick pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  3. CAJUN-SPICED BULGUR

    Boil a full kettle. Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 1-2 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and place in a shallow bowl. Add the bulgur wheat to the bowl with the Cajun Rub to taste. Submerge in 150ml of boiling water, add a drizzle of oil, and gently stir. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork and season to taste. Replace the plate and set aside to keep warm until serving.

  4. FALAFEL & DRESSINGS

    Place the falafel mix in a shallow bowl with a pinch of salt and 100ml of boiling water. Mix well to combine, but not for longer than about 30 seconds. Cover with a plate and set aside for at least 10 minutes. In a bowl, combine the yoghurt with three-quarters of the chopped mint and season to taste. Place the avo hummus in a separate bowl. Loosen with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency and season to taste. Set both dressings aside for serving.

  5. FRY THE FALAFEL

    Lightly oil or wet your hands to prevent the falafel mixture from sticking to them. Roll into 4-5 balls and gently flatten each ball to form mini patties. Return the pan to a medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy and cooked through, turning when they start to colour. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.

  6. BLISSFUL FALAFEL BOWL

    Make a bed of spiced bulgur wheat. Cover with the caramelised carrot wedges and chopped piquanté peppers. Pop the crispy falafel on top, drizzle over the avo hummus, and dollop with the minty yoghurt. Garnish with the toasted, slivered almonds and the remaining chopped mint. Enjoy!
