Cooking Steps

1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Drain and rinse half the chickpeas (use all for 4 servings), then pat dry with paper towels.
  • Quarter zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch quarter-moons.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
  • In a large bowl, toss together chickpeas, zucchini, peppers, half the Morrocan Spice Blend and 2 tsp (4 tsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper.
2
  • To an parchment-lined baking sheet, add chickpea-veggie mixture.
  • Roast in the bottom of the oven for 10 - 12 min, until chickpeas are almost crispy. Stir, then cover chickpeas loosely with foil or another baking sheet.
  • Return chickpea-veggie to the oven and roast for 6-8 min, until chickpeas are crispy.
3
  • Meanwhile, to a medium pot, add 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Season with salt and bring to a boil over high.
  • Zest, then juice lemon.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-4 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
  • Remove from heat.
  • Transfer to a plate.
  • Once water is boiling, stir in couscous. Remove the pot from heat, then cover and set couscous aside for 5 min to rehydrate.
4
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add beef to the dry pan. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
  • Carefully drain and discard excess fat. 
  • Add fig spread, beef broth concentrate, lemon juice, ginger-garlic puree, remaining Moroccan Spice Blend and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add chickpea-veggie mixture (from step 2), then stir to combine.
5
  • Fluff bulgur with a fork, then stir in lemon zest and half the almonds.
  • Divide couscous between plates. Top with beef.
  • Sprinkle remaining almonds over top.
