Number Of Ingredients 24

15 oz chickpeas, 1 can, drained and rinsed
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon paprika
sea salt, to taste
¼ teaspoon cumin
½ lemon, juiced
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons water
red pepper flake, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 cup quinoa, uncooked, rinsed and drained
2 cups vegetable broth
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
2 lemons, juiced, divided
salt, to taste
2 persian cucumbers
½ cup grape tomato
kalamata olive, to taste
½ red onion
fresh parsley leaf, to taste

Steps:

  • Make the hummus: Add the chickpeas to a food processor with the garlic, paprika, salt, cumin, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the water. Pulse until creamy.
  • Transfer the hummus to a container and top with more olive oil and red pepper flakes. The hummus will keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Make the Mediterranean bowl: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the quinoa into the skillet and toast for 3-4 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  • Add the vegetable broth, thyme, tarragon, parsley, juice of 1 lemon, and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is fluffy. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Slice the cucumbers, halve the tomatoes, chop the olives, and dice the onion.
  • Place all of the vegetables in a medium bowl. Add the parsley, remaining tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  • To assemble a bowl, add ¼ of the quinoa, ¼ of the vegetables, and ¼ of the hummus to a resealable container. Top the vegetables with crumbled feta.
  • Store the bowls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Enjoy!
