Charred Falafel Bowl

Method

1. Start by prepping your olive oil, lemon, garlic so the cooking goes quickly.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the leeks in a little butter until translucent.
3. Turn the heat up, add the falafel, and cook until deeply browned and aromatic.
4. Fold in the olive oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
