Cooking Steps
1
- Before starting, preheat air fryer to 375°F. Wash and dry all produce.
- Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels.
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, stock concentrate and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
2
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Zest, then juice lemon.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Cut zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch moons.
- To a small bowl, add tomatoes and half the onions. Season with salt and pepper.
3
- To a food processor, add chickpeas, parsley, garlic, remaining onions, Cumin-Chili Spice Blend, 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) flour and half the lemon juice.
-
Pulse to coarsely chop the ingredients, until it turns into a thick mixture.
- Divide the mixture into 8 (16) equal balls. Then gently flatten into 1-inch patties.
4
- Brush tops of falafels evenly with 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil.
- Place falafels in the air fryer in a single layer (NOTE: Don't crowd the air fryer; cook falafels in 2 batches if needed.) (NOTE: If you don't have an air fryer, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) oil and falafels. Don't crowd the pan; cook in 2 batches, if needed. Pan-fry for 3-4 min per side, until golden.)
- Cook for 7-8 min on one side, until golden. Flip falafels and brush tops again with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Cook for 6-7 min, until cooked through.
5
- While falafels cook, heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
- Drain olives, reserving brine, then roughly chop.
- To a small bowl, add hummus, reserved olive brine and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
6
- To a medium bowl, add spring mix, remaining lemon juice, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
- To the rice, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, olives and lemon zest, then fluff with a fork.
- Divide spring mix, tomato-onion mixture, zucchini and rice between bowls.
- Top rice with falafels.
- Drizzle hummus over top.
