Cooking Instructions:

1. TO PREPARE THE VEGETABLES:

Peel and grate the carrot and place in a salad bowl. Cut the apple in to quarters, remove the core, slice thinly and add to the bowl with the red cabbage. Finely chop the curly parsley discarding the stalks.
2. TO PREPARE THE TABBOULEH:

Open the bag of steamed freekeh, squeezing gently on the bag to break up any large clumps. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot add the freekeh, season with salt, and cook for 2-3 mins. Remove from the pan and add to the salad bowl. Add the parsley and the cranberries and toasted walnuts to the bowl. Just before serving pour in the lemon dressing and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
3. TO COOK THE FALAFEL:

Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of olive. Once hot add 12 spoonful’s of the falafel mix to the pan (you may need to do this in batches). Flatten slightly with a spatula and cook for 3-4 mins each side undisturbed - adjusting the heat if necessary.
TO SERVE:

Spoon tabbouleh onto plates. Top with pan fried falafels and dollop with green tahini sauce.
