Ingredients
- 2 x 400g packs ready-to-roast Mediterranean style vegetables
- 500g passata (ideally with added basil)
- 1 tsp mixed dried herbs
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 60g sundried tomatoes, snipped
- 2 x 200g packs falafel
- chopped parsley or basil to serve
Step by step
- Put a large baking dish (about 20 x 30cm base) in the oven and preheat the oven to 240°C, fan 220°C, gas 9.
- Tip the roasting veg into the hot baking dish, snipping up any particularly large pieces, then cook for 15 minutes, stirring half way, until starting to colour at the edges.
- Meanwhile, combine the passata, dried herbs, sugar, sundried tomatoes and some seasoning. Pour over the vegetables, stir together then nestle the falafel into the sauce. Cover with foil (remembering that the dish will be hot) and return to the oven for 15 minutes or until piping hot. Scatter with the herbs before serving.
