Ingredients pt 1
  • 1 handful of fresh coriander

Method pt 2
  1. Boil a kettle. Heat a large saucepan filled with salted boiling water on high heat. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Thinly slice the roasted pepper. Roughly chop the coriander and parsley. Zest then quarter the lemon.
  3. Make the dressing; in a large bowl combine maple syrup, pomegranate molasses, juice from 2 lemon wedges, half the sesame seeds and 1/2 tsp oil. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Add the pasta, roasted pepper, tomatoes, herbs, lemon zest and rocket to the bowl and toss to coat.
  4. Heat a small frying pan with 1/2 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the falafels and reheat for 4-5 mins, turning occasionally, until piping hot.
  5. Serve the tabbouleh on a plate and top with falafels. Sprinkle over the remaining sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges.
