Chickpea-Powered Mediterranean Bulgur
with Zucchini & Grape Tomatoes
You haven’t tasted chickpeas until you’ve tried them roasted. Deliciously crunchy and more than worth the time they spend in a hot oven. In this recipe, they’re roasted with smoked paprika and tossed with toasted bulgur, roasted zucchini and tomatoes, and feta cheese for a mishmash of savory Mediterranean flavors. You likely won’t have leftovers, but if you do, you’ll find the dish tastes even better the next day.

Instructions
• Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. • Trim and dice zucchini into ½-inch pieces. Halve tomatoes. Strip thyme leaves from stems. Peel and mince garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve lemon.
• Toss zucchini, tomatoes, and half the thyme leaves on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. • Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until tender, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas; dry thoroughly with paper towels. On a second baking sheet, toss half the chickpeas (all for 4 servings) with a large drizzle of olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until crisp, 18-20 minutes. (It’s natural for chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.)
• While chickpeas roast, heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), garlic, and scallion whites in a medium pot over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts and garlic is fragrant, 1 minute. • Add bulgur and remaining thyme leaves; stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until bulgur is lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.
• Add stock concentrate and 1 cup water (2 cups for 4 servings) to pot with bulgur. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes.
• Add half the veggies, half the feta, and a squeeze of lemon juice to pot with bulgur; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide between plates or shallow bowls; top with chickpeas and remaining veggies. Garnish with scallion greens and remaining feta. Serve.
