Preparation
Roast the sweet potatoes & sweet pepper
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Medium-dice the sweet potatoes.
- Halve, core and cut the sweet pepper lengthwise into 1-inch pieces.
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the dukkah and S&P.
- Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until golden brown and tender.
Cook the bulgur & wilt the spinach
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Add the spinach and S&P. Fluff the bulgur.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, zest and juice the lemon.
- Remove the stem ends of the string peas; thinly slice crosswise on an angle.
- Thinly slice the scallion crosswise.
- In a small bowl, combine the hummus, remaining dukkah and ½ the lemon zest.
Make the vinaigrette
- In a small pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the sunflower seeds and toast, stirring often, 2 to 3 min., until golden brown.
- Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool, roughly chop.
- In a second small bowl, combine the sunflower seeds, ½ the lemon juice, 2 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Dress the string peas
- In a medium bowl, combine the string peas, ½ the scallion, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
Finish & serve
- To the pot of bulgur, add the remaining lemon zest, lemon juice and scallion; stir well.
