Instructions

Roast the Aubergine
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Trim the aubergine, then halve lengthways. Cut each half into four long strips, then widthways into thirds.

Pop the aubergine onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

When the oven is hot, roast the aubergine on the top shelf until soft and golden, 25-30 mins. Turn halfway through.

Prep Time
2

Pop half the garlic (unpeeled) into a small piece of foil with a drizzle of oil and scrunch to enclose it. Roast the parcel on a baking tray on the middle shelf of your oven until soft, 10-12 mins.

Meanwhile, cut the tomato into 1cm chunks.

Peel and grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press).

Cook the Couscous
3

Pop a deep saucepan (with a tight-fitting lid) on medium heat. Melt in the butter (see pantry for amount).

When hot, add the garlic and fry for 1 min, then stir in the couscous until coated, 1 min. 

Add the vegetable stock paste and water for the couscous (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil.

When boiling, remove from the heat and pop a lid on the pan. Leave to the side for 8-10 mins or until ready to serve.

Bake your Falafels
4

When your roasted garlic is ready, remove the parcel from the baking tray and allow to cool slightly.

Place the falafels onto the (now empty) baking tray and bake on the middle shelf until golden brown, 5-8 mins.

Once the garlic has cooled, cut the end with scissors, squeeze it out of the skin and mash with a fork.

In a small bowl, combine the mashed garlic and yoghurt. Season with salt and pepper.

Bring the Flavour
5

When the aubergine has 5 mins left, drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount) and toss to coat. Return to the oven and bake for the remaining time until golden and sticky.

When the couscous is cooked, stir through the zhoug (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and tomato chunks. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Serve Up
6

Share your couscous between your serving bowls and top with the falafels and honey roasted aubergine. 

Spoon the garlic yoghurt over the falafels to finish. 

Enjoy!
