Boil half a kettle
Combine your vegetable stock mix and tomato paste in a heatproof bowl with 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water and stir it all together
Add your couscous to the bowl, cover and set aside until all of the liquid has been absorbed – this is your tomatoey couscous

Wash your lettuce, then pat it dry with kitchen paper and shred finely
Chop your parsley finely, including the stalks
Add your tahini and natural yoghurt to a small bowl with your roasted garlic paste and sumac
Season with a pinch of salt and 1/2 tsp [3/4 tsp] [1 tsp] sugar and stir it all together – this is your tahini yoghurt sauce
Add your sourdough pitta[s] to a toaster for 1-2 min or until warmed through
Add your falafels to a plate and pop in the microwave for 1 min or until warmed through
Slice open the top of the warmed pitta and fill it with the warmed falafels, tomato slices and most of the tahini yoghurt sauce, then sprinkle with half the chopped parsley
