Get the potatoes on

  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes and sweet potatoes, then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 18-20 mins, until soft, then drain. Return to the pan and mash with 1 tsp oil, a pinch of salt and pepper

Heat the falafel

Add the lemon zest, cucumber, radishes, and half of the parsley into the medium bowl along with the horseradish paste, the other half of the garlic paste, peas, rocket and the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper and mix well to combine

Plate up
