The couscous:

Bring 5 dl of water, with the broth in it, to the boiling point. Set aside. Measure the couscous in a cup, then pour it into a bowl. Measure the same amount of broth in the cup, pour it into the bowl as well and cover with a plate so that the couscous can absorb the liquid for a few minutes. 

El cuscus - Falafel con tabbouleh

The falafel:

Chop parsley, coriander, onion and garlic.
In a bowl mince with a fork: chickpeas, half of the parsley, coriander, half of the onion, half of the garlic, flour, baking powder, cumin, salt and pepper.

To the oven:

Form round “falafels” with the help of a spoon and fry with just a dash of oil.
Be careful not to use too much oil, it will soften the falafels and they will break easily. 

The creamy yogurt sauce:

Grate lemon peel over the yoghurt.
Break walnuts with your hand over the yoghurt.
Add garlic (that is left over).
Condiment with salt and pepper and stir well. 

The tabbouleh:

Peel and cut the cucumber in half. Remove the seeds with a spoon. Chop it.
Remove the seeds from the tomatoes and chop them.
Separate the couscous grains with a fork and let fall into a large bowl. Add cucumber, tomato, parsley, onion and squeeze lemon on top. Add a dash of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir well.  

Dinner is served:

Serve your falafel with tabbouleh and the yogurt sauce.
