Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add peppers and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with half the Shawarma Spice Blend, salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 18-20 min, stirring halfway through, until tender.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp oil, then protein shreds. Cook for 6-8 min, flipping once or twice, until cooked through.** Season with salt, pepper and remaining Shawarma Spice Blend. Toss to coat.
- Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt and broth concentrate. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, add bulgur. Stir to combine, then cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon (use whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
