Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Finley chop spinach.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
- Heat a medium pot over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pot to melt.
- Add garlic and bulgur. Cook for 1 min, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- To the pot, add 2/3 cup (1 cup) water, spinach and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high, then remove from heat.
- Let stand for 16-18 min, until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff bulgur with a fork.
- Meanwhile, pat tofu dry with paper towels, then cut or tear into 1/2-inch pieces. Sprinkle with Harissa Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu. Pan-fry for 7-8 min, turning occasionally, until golden. Remove tofu to a plate.
- Meanwhile, pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- When tofu is done, to the same pan, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken. Sear for 3-4 min per side, until chicken is golden and cooked through.** Transfer to clean cutting board.
- Meanwhile, to a small bowl, add mayo and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Whisk to combine.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the same pan (used in step 3), then peppers. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir peppers and lemon zest into bulgur.
- Divide bulgur between bowls, then top with tofu and chicken.
- Drizzle with lemon mayo.
- Sprinkle with feta.
- Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.
