Ingredients

Serves : 4
  • 400g Feta cheese


  • 796mL chickpea


  • 1 cup couscous


  • 100g shallots


  • 320g sweet bell pepper


  • 14g parsley


  • 796mL crush tomato


  • 113g baby spinach


  • 2Tbsp Maple


  • 2Tbsp vegetables broth


  • 2Tbsp Turkish spice

Directions

  • Before starting, preheat your broiler to high. Wash and dry all produce. Core, then cut bell pepper into ½-inch pieces. Roughly chop parsley. Peel, then dice shallot. Cut feta into 4 pieces (dbl for 4ppl).
  • Combine broth concentrate, ⅔ cup water and 1 tbsp butter (dbl both for 4ppl) in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove pot from heat, then add the couscous. Stir together. Cover and let stand for 5 min.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add ½ tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl), then shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3-4 min. Add Turkish spice blend, chickpeas (including their can liquid) crushed tomatoes and half the maple. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 5-7 min. Stir spinach into sauce until wilted, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper.
  • While sauce simmers, lightly oil a foil-lined baking sheet. Stir together remaining Maple and 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl) in a small bowl. Arrange feta on one side of prepared sheet and brush with honey-oil mixture. On other side of the baking sheet, toss peppers with 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4ppl). Season with salt and pepper. Broil in the middle of the oven until peppers are tender-crisp and feta is golden-brown, 5-7 min (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!).
  • Fluff couscous with a fork, then stir in peppers and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide couscous between bowls. Top with Turkish chickpeas and sauce from pan. Top with broiled feta and sprinkle over remaining parsley.
