    15-Min Harissa Chickpea Grain Bowls with Pre-Cooked Farro, Apple & Goat Cheese
    Title
    • 1 15.5-Oz Can Chickpeas
    • 10 oz Cooked Farro
    • 2 oz Arugula
    • 1 oz Goat Cheese
    • 1 Apple
    • 3 Tbsps Garlic-Tahini Sauce
    • 1 Lemon
    • 1 Tbsp Maple Syrup
    • 1½ Tbsps Red Harissa Paste
    • 2 Tbsps Roasted Sunflower Seeds
    Prepare the ingredients & warm the farro
    1 Prepare the ingredients & warm the farro

    Wash and dry the fresh produce. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the apple(s). Quarter and deseed the lemon(s). In a bowl, combine the garlic-tahini sauce, maple syrup, the juice of 2 lemon wedges (or 4 wedges for 4 servings), and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cut a 1-inch vent in the package of farro. Microwave on high 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer to a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

    2 Make the harissa chickpeas

    Pat the chickpeas dry with paper towels. In a large nonstick pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the drained chickpeas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until heated through (be careful, as the chickpeas may pop as they cook). Add the harissa paste and the juice of the remaining lemon wedges (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the chickpeas are coated. Turn off the heat.
