Preparation
1
Prep veggies

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut onion into 1/2 inch pieces. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then onions, peppers and tomatoes. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook veggies in 2 batches for 4 ppl, using 1 tbsp oil per batch!) Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are tender-crisp and tomatoes are blistered, 4-5 min. Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.

2
Cook falafel

Add 1 tbsp oil to the same pan, then falafel. Pan-fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches for 4 ppl if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Transfer to the same plate as veggies. Cover to keep warm.

3
Cook couscous

While falafel cook, add 2/3 cup water, 1/8 tsp salt and 1 tbsp butter (dbl all for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 5 min.

4
Prep herbs and make harissa sauce

Roughly chop cilantro and parsley. Zest, then juice lemon. Whisk together mayo, Harissa Spice Blend, lemon zest, half the lemon juice and 1/2 tbsp water (dbl all 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside.

5
Finish couscous

When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork. Add cilantro, parsley and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

Divide couscous between bowls. Top with veggies and falafel. Drizzle over harissa sauce.
