Ingredients
- ½ cup uncooked rice
- fresh chopped cilantro (add as much or as little as you'd like!)
- 1 lime (halved)
- 1/2-1 cup chopped bell pepper
- 1/2-1 cup chopped English cucumber
- 1/2-1 cup chopped tomatoes
SHAWARMA CHICKPEAS
- 15 oz canned chickpeas
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 1 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
TAHINI SAUCE
- ¼ cup tahini paste
- 1 clove garlic (smashed and minced)
- 3 TBSP warm water
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/8-1/4 tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
HUMMUS SAUCE
- ¼ cup hummus any flavor!
- Juice of half a lemon or lime
- 1-2 TBSP water to thin sauce as desired
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cook rice via package directions using your favorite method. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and season with fresh lime juice (start with 1/4 a lime and add extra to taste). Set aside. Once cooled, add fresh cilantro (to taste) and mix well.
- While your rice cooks, roast your shawarma chickpeas.
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas. Pat the chickpeas dry with a clean dishtowel. The drier the chickpeas are, the crispier your end result. If you have time, leave them to air-dry for a few minutes. Add chickpeas to a rimmed baking sheet and add oil and salt. Mix until chickpeas are lightly coated.
- Roast on the center rack for 20-25 minutes until crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Once chickpeas are fresh from the oven and still hot, add your remaining shawarma spices and mix well.
- For the sauce, choose your favorite from the list above and whisk together until smooth and pourable. Adjust to taste if needed and feel free to make extra!
- Let's get our bowl on! Divide rice, veggies, and chickpeas between two bowls. Serve with lime wedges, drizzle with sauce, and dive in!
Notes
- Feel free to use fluffy quinoa in place of the rice or serve your chickpeas, sauce and veggies over a bed of leafy greens in place of grains.
