Cooking Steps
- To a medium pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1-inch pieces.
- Peel, then grate half the onion. Cut remaining onion into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch rounds.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- To a medium bowl, add beef, panko, grated onions, half the garlic, half the garlic salt and half the Shawarma Spice Blend.
- Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 6 (12) oval logs.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add peppers, zucchini, diced onions, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Season with remaining garlic salt, then toss to combine.
- Arrange veggies in a single layer. Place koftas on top of veggies.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 14-20 min, until veggies are tender and koftas are cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, to the boiling water, add orzo. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
- Reserve 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) pasta water. Strain orzo, then return to the pot, off heat.
- To the pot with orzo, add vegetable stock powder, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon zest, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and reserved pasta water. Stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together hummus, mayo, remaining lemon juice and remaining garlic.
- Divide orzo between plates. Top with veggies, koftas and lemony hummus sauce.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
