Mediterranean falafel bowl

with bulgur tabbouleh, falafel and tahini sauce

Chickpea balls spiced with Ras el Hanout meet a tabbouleh that tastes of parsley, lemon and tomatoes. Creamy tahini sauce runs over the top, capers and olives flash in between: a plate that sounds like market day by the Mediterranean.

  • Prep approx. 30 min
  • Bake approx. 10 min
  • Total approx. 40 min

A spiced bulgur tabbouleh with plenty of parsley, celery, tomatoes, olives and capers, served with crispy falafel and a light tahini sauce made with soya yoghurt. With ready-made falafel this meal comes together in no time, in about 40 minutes.

Method

  1. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 1: Bulgur

    Bulgur

    Bring the water to the boil with the salt and ras el hanout. Add the bulgur, remove the pan from the heat and leave to swell, covered, for approx. 15 mins. Fluff up with a fork, transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.

  2. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 2: Vegetables

    Vegetables

    Heat the oil in a frying pan. Sweat the onion, celery, tomatoes and olives together for approx. 3 mins. Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar and add the capers. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the vegetables to cool.

  3. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 3: Tabbouleh

    Tabbouleh

    Stir the parsley and vegetables into the cooled bulgur and season to taste with salt and pepper.

  4. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 4: Tahini sauce

    Tahini sauce

    Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Thin with a little water if liked and season to taste.

  5. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 5: Falafel

    Falafel

    Preheat the oven to 200 °C fan. Place the falafel on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in the centre of the oven for approx. 10 mins until crisp and hot.

  6. Mediterranean falafel bowl, step 6: To serve

    To serve

    Divide the tabbouleh between two bowls, arrange the falafel on top and serve with the tahini sauce.

Tip 1:
If you like, you can double the amount of vegetables. This makes the portion bigger without making the meal too heavy.
Tip 2:
The tabbouleh can easily be made the day before and tastes even better cold once it has had time to infuse, covered, in the fridge.
