Preparation
1
Prep

  • Thinly slice radishes.
  • Peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Finely chop parsley.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.

2
Marinate radishes and toast almonds

  • Add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix.
  • Add radishes, then toss to coat.
  • Heat a medium non-stick pan (large pan for 4 ppl) over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add half the almonds to the dry pan (use all for 4 ppl). Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn!)
  • Transfer to a plate.

3
Cook couscous

  • Heat a medium pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then half the shallots. Cook, stirring often until shallots are golden-brown and beginning to soften, 1-2 min.
  • Add half the chicken stock powder, 1 tsp (2 tsp) Shawarma Spice Blend and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and let stand, 5 min.

4
Prep and cook tofu

  • Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Cut tofu in half parallel to the cutting board. (NOTE: You will have two square tofu steaks per block.) Season with remaining chicken stock powder, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend, salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
  • When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. Cover to keep warm.

5
Make garlic sauce

  • Add mayo, remaining garlic, remaining parsley and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) marinating liquid to a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.

6
Finish and serve

  • Fluff couscous with a fork. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice tofu.
  • Add spinach to bowl with radishes, then toss to coat.
  • Divide couscous, salad and tofu between bowls.
  • Spoon garlic sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle almonds over top.

Pan fry until golden, 2-3 min per side. Cover to keep warm.
