Preparation
Roast the sweet potatoes & sweet pepper
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Medium-dice the sweet potatoes. 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 and keep warm.
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 frequently, 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 & sear the halloumi
In a medium bowl, combine the string peas, ½ the scallion, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Rinse the halloumi and pat dry with paper towel; thinly slice. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the halloumi and sear, 1 to 2 min. per side, until golden brown.
Finish & serve
To the pot of bulgur, add the remaining lemon zest, lemon juice and scallion, stir well. Divide the dukkah hummus between your bowls and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the bulgur and spinach, the sweet potatoes, sweet pepper, string peas and halloumi. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
