How to Prepare Falafel Casserole [Vegan]
- Start by making the tomato sauce. Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent. Add the bouillon powder/cube, herbs, syrup and tamari, and stir until the onion soaks up the spices; about 2 minutes.
- Add the passata and bring it to the boil. Now lower the heat and leave to simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until thick. At the very end of cooking, add the garlic, parsley or chives and an extra drop of olive oil. Season to taste. This sauce can be made a couple of days in advance and kept refrigerated, if needed.
- To assemble the casserole, preheat the oven to 350°F(180°C, Gas 4).
- Drizzle a little bit of olive oil in the bottom of the baking dish, pour in the tomato sauce, add a layer of leftover falafel and cover with grated vegan cheese. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the tomato sauce starts sizzling and the cheese melts. Serve with blanched broccoli or any other greens, and toasted sourdough bread or creamy mashed potatoes.
