  1. BEGIN WITH BELL PEPPERS

    Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the pepper strips until lightly charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. FRY THE FALAFELS

    Return the pan to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the falafels until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.

  3. VEGGIE MEDLEY & YOGHURT DRIZZLE

    To a bowl, add the rinsed leaves, the halved tomatoes, the sliced pickled onions, the cucumber half-moons, and the charred peppers. In a separate bowl, loosen the coconut yoghurt with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency and season.

  4. PLATE UP DELICIOUSNESS

    Smear half of the plate with the hummus and top with the crispy falafels. Side with the pickled onion & cucumber salad. Drizzle over the coconut yoghurt and sprinkle over the almonds. Enjoy!
