Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4-5
Ingredients
Greek Lemon Chickpeas:
¼ yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
1 15.5-oz can chickpeas, drained
½ lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Tomato & Cucumber Salad:
1 cup chopped tomatoes, seeds discarded
1 cup chopped cucumber
¼ cup chopped red onion
2 Tbs. fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste
Vegan Tzatziki Sauce:
1 cup vegan plain yogurt (I like Forager cashew yogurt)
1 Tbs. fresh dill, or 2 tsp. dried dill
1 clove garlic, minced
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. lime juice
1 Tbs. garlic powder
1 tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. black pepper
Roasted Potatoes:
1 large Yukon gold potato or 1 medium sweet potato, diced
Salt and pepper
Etc.:
4 cups watercress, baby spinach, arugula, or other leafy greens of choice
2 cups cooked grain of choice (I chose brown rice)
Pita chips or pita bread
Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
Crumbled vegan feta (optional)
Instructions
First, prepare the cucumber tomato salad. Stir all ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Cover and place in fridge while you get the rest of the bowls ready.
Preheat oven to 415 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
Toss diced potatoes with salt and pepper and spread out onto the lined baking sheet. Roast for 10 mins, toss, then roast about 10 more mins, until the edges are golden and crispy.
While the potatoes are in the oven, whisk together the tzatziki sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
To assemble to Mediterranean power bowls, place a large handful of greens and about ½ cup of grains in the bottom of each bowl. Then add heaping spoonfuls of chickpeas, cucumber tomato salad, and roasted potatoes. Add crumbled pita chips or wedges of pita bread, vegan feta, tzatziki sauce, and a lemon wedge to each bowl, if desired.
