Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the sweet potato into 1cm chunks (no need to peel), then pop it onto a large baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 18-20 mins. Turn halfway through.
Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2/3 slices per person. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and fry for 30 secs, then stir in the bulgur and cook for another 30 secs.
Stir in the vegetable stock paste and water for the bulgur (see pantry for amount), then bring to the boil. Simmer for 1 min, then pop a lid on the pan and remove from the heat.
Leave to the side for 12-15 mins or until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, cut the lemon into wedges.
Halve the baby plum tomatoes.
Pop the tomatoes into a medium bowl. Squeeze in some lemon juice and add the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts).
Season with salt, mix together well, then set aside for later.
In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with half the harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Set aside.
Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Once the bulgur is ready, fluff it up with a fork and stir in the parsley and remaining harissa paste.
Add a good squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set your tabbouleh aside for now.
Just before the sweet potato is ready, place the falafels on a plate and microwave, 800W: 75 secs / 900W: 45 secs / 1000W: 30 secs.
If you don't have a microwave, place the falafels onto a baking tray and bake on the top shelf until golden brown, 5-8 mins.
Once ready, drizzle the honey (see pantry for amount) over the falafels and turn.
Meanwhile, remove the halloumi slices from the water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, 2-3 mins each side.
Share your tabbouleh between your serving bowls.
Top the tabbouleh with your sliced halloumi, glazed falafels, roast sweet potato and dressed tomatoes.
Drizzle the harissa yoghurt over the falafels and sweet potato to finish.
Serve with any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.
