FALAFEL & STOCK
Boil the kettle. In a bowl, combine the falafel mix, a pinch of salt, and 100ml of boiling water. Mix, but not for longer than 30 seconds. Cover and set aside for at least 10 minutes. Dilute the stock with 65ml of boiling water and set aside.
SLAW & DRIZZLE
In a salad bowl, toss together the shredded green leaves, the thinly sliced Cabbage, the grated carrot, a drizzle of olive oil, and the lemon juice. Set aside. Loosen the cashew cream cheese with water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency. Season and set aside.
SPICY BEANS & Corn
Place a pan over high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the Corn and the drained black beans until slightly charred, 3-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Lower the heat and stir in the diluted stock, the chopped peppers, and ½ the chilli flakes (to taste). Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. Add a sweetener and seasoning. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and set aside.
FALAFEL FUN
Roll the falafel mixture into 4-5 balls and gently flatten to form mini patties. Wipe down the pan and return to medium heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, fry the falafel patties until golden and crispy, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towel.
