Cooking Steps

Prep and roast veggies
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce. 
  • Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • To an unlined baking sheet, add zucchini, peppers, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and half the Shawarma Spice Blend. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
  • Roast veggies in the top of the oven for 12-14 min, until tender-crisp.
Form and roast meatballs
2
  • Meanwhile, line another baking sheet with foil.
  • To a large bowl, add turkey, breadcrumbs, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Season with pepper, then combine.
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until browned and cooked through.**
Start couscous
3
  • Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium-high.
  • When hot, add couscous. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until couscous is slightly golden.
  • Add 2 cups (4 cups) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 6-8 min, still covered, until couscous is tender.
Make toum
4
  • Juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 servings). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • To a small bowl, add mayo, 2 tsp (4 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Finish couscous
5
  • Drain and return couscous to the same pot, off heat.
  • To the pot with couscous, add roasted veggies and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide roasted veggie couscous between bowls. Top with meatballs and sprinkle with feta.
  • Dollop toum on top.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top, if you like.

If you've opted to get turkey, prep and cook in the same way the recipe instructs you to prep and cook beef.**
