Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Remove stem, then cut eggplant into 1/2-inch cubes.

Arrange in a single layer. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden-brown, 14-16 min.
Strip mint leaves from stems, then roughly chop.Roughly chop spinach.
Add 1 tbsp butter, broth concentrate, 2/3 cup water (dbl both for 4 ppl) to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, then stir in couscous and raisins.Cover and let stand for 5 min.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 ppl if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)Fry until golden-brown, 3-4 min per side.
