1. To make the falafel, place all the ingredients except the oil in a blender and pulse until fine but not smooth. Shape the mixture into patties. Heat a non-stick pan and add the oil. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown.

2. To serve, smear the hummus and labneh onto a serving plate and pile high with the hot falafel, pickled peppers and olives. Finish off with a glug of olive oil and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Serve with hot, toasty naan.
