Crispy Chickpea Grain Bowl with Lemon Yogurt image

I added my own twist to this recipe and it came out really good. I used barley in this, but you can use whatever kind of grain you'd like.

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 ½ cups water
½ cup barley
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas - rinsed, drained, and dried
1 pinch smoked paprika, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, chopped
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 splash red wine
1 tablespoon harissa
⅓ cup vegetable broth
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped almonds
½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon honey
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Bring water and barley to a boil in a saucepan. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until barley is tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Drizzle the pan with 1 tablespoon oil.
  • Spread chickpeas in the oil and sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, about 40 minutes. Leave in the oven to cool for another 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute shallot and garlic in the hot oil until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add carrots and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms; cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in red wine. Cook until wine has almost completely reduced, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in harissa and cook for 1 minute. Pour in broth; cook until it has been absorbed, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Stir chickpeas into the mixture and add 1/4 cup parsley.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Saute almonds in the hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • Prepare the lemon yogurt by stirring yogurt, lemon zest, honey, and lemon juice together in a bowl.
  • Prepare the dish with barley on the bottom, followed by chickpeas, toasted almonds, and lemon yogurt. Garnish with 1 teaspoon parsley.
