PREP
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Boil the kettle. Place the Aubergine halves on a roasting tray, coat in oil, and season. Roast, flat-side down, in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until softened, shifting halfway. Place the falafel mix in a shallow bowl with some seasoning to taste 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.
SALAD & TZATZIKI
In a bowl, combine the chopped olives and diced Tomato with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. In a separate small bowl, combine the grated Cucumber and coconut yoghurt with seasoning.
FALAFEL
When the aubergines have 10 minutes remaining, place a whole, unpeeled Garlic clove on the roasting tray and cook for the remaining time, until softened. 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. Place a pan over 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 paper towel.
Aubergine HUMMUS
When the Aubergine and garlic are done, remove the flesh and discard the skins (from both the garlic and aubergine) - be careful, it will be hot. Place the aubergine and garlic flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add the hummus and some seasoning and mix to combine. Add a drizzle of oil if necessary.
PITA
Return the pan, wiped down, to a medium heat. When hot, warm the pita for about 30-60 seconds per side until heated through and lightly toasted. When cool enough to handle, slice into quarters. Toss the rinsed salad leaves with the dressed tomatoes & olives.
YUM!
Plate up the delicious falafel, crispy pitas and a dollop of your homemade coconut tzatziki. Side with the salad leaves and the Aubergine hummus for dipping. Feast to your heart's content!
