Instructions
Step 1
Quarter cherry tomatoes, and chop cucumber into small cubes, scooping out the flesh.
Step 2
Blend avocado, mint, garlic, half the parsley, white wine vinegar, 30ml of olive oil, and 160ml water until smooth. Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
Step 3
Soak couscous in a bowl with 400ml of stock/boiling water, and cover with a plate. Stand for 5 minutes, and fluff grains with a fork.
Step 4
Chop remaining half of the parsley, and add to couscous, as well as tomatoes, cucumber, and 30ml olive oil. Combine.
Step 5
Shallow fry the felafel in the remaining olive oil until golden. Just heat them up for a couple of minutes and get the outsides a little crisp, but not too long nor they’ll get dry.
Step 6
Plate couscous with felafel, and drizzle the avocado and herb sauce. Sprinkle pistachios and serve.
