Method

step 1

Heat the oven and bake the falafel following the pack instructions (alongside the meatballs, see recipe right, as they brown).
step 2

Meanwhile, mix the sauce ingredients with 4-5 tbsp water and some salt until you get a drizzling consistency. It seems like a lot of water, but don’t worry, adding lemon juice to tahini makes it thicken with the acidity, so it needs another liquid to thin it.
step 3

Once the falafel have been out of the oven a few minutes, and cooled a little, pile the rocket onto a serving platter and top with the falafel. Drizzle over the tahini sauce, scatter with sesame seeds and serve with a few extra lemon wedges.
