VEGAN FALAFEL SHAKSHUKA

FALAFEL MIX
Boil the kettle. Place the falafel mix, a pinch of salt, and 100ml of boiling water in a shallow bowl. Mix well to combine, but not for longer than about 30 seconds. Cover the bowl with a plate and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
SHAKSHUKA SAUCE
Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent. Add the Shakshuka Spice Mix and sliced Chilli to taste and fry for 1-2 minutes. Then, stir in the Passata and 50ml of boiling water and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a low heat and simmer for about 8 minutes until beginning to thicken, stirring occasionally.
CHARRED PEPPERS
While the shakshuka sauce is on the go, place another pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Fry the sliced pickled peppers for 2-3 minutes until charred. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside for serving.
FALAFEL, BABY!
Roll the falafel mixture into 4-5 balls. 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 falafel patties for 3-4 minutes per side until crispy, turning them when they start to colour. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to drain on some paper towel.
TOASTY PITA
Cut the pita in half and pop in the toaster until warm and crispy. Alternatively, toast in a clean pan over a high heat for 1-2 minutes per side.
ALMOST THERE
When the shakshuka sauce has thickened, stir through the rinsed baby spinach and three quarters of the chopped coriander. Cook until the baby spinach has wilted, stirring continuously. Add seasoning and a sweetener of choice to taste. Remove from the heat on completion.
SHAKSHUKA TIME
Spoon a generous helping of shakshuka into a bowl and pop in the falafel balls. Scatter over the charred peppers and remaining fresh coriander. Serve with the toasted pita bread on the side to scoop up all that deliciousness!
