Cooking Steps
- In medium pot, bring 3/4 cups (1 1/2 cups) and vegetable stock powder to boil.
- Stir bulgur into the boiling water, then return to a boil.
- Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 15-17 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Fluff bulgur with a fork and season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini in half, lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half moons.
- Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To a large parchment-lined baking sheet, add veggies and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with Turkish Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast, in the middle of the oven for 15-17 min, until tender-crisp.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add almonds to the dry pan.
- Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden-brown. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.
- Strip mint leaves from stems. Roughly chop mint leaves.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- In small bowl, combine yogurt sauce, lemon zest and half the mint.
- Reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then falafel. (NOTE: Don't crowd the pan. Cook in batches for 4 servings if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.) Lightly smash falafel into smaller pieces and pan-fry for 4-5 min, until golden.
- Toss veggies with lemon juice.
- Divide bulgur and veggies between bowls.
- Top with falafel.
- Drizzle with yogurt sauce mixture.
- Sprinkle feta, almonds and remaining mint over top.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
