Preparation
Boil the freekeh
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the freekeh and boil, 24 to 26 min., until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Allow to cool slightly.
Roast the chickpeas & sweet pepper
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Halve and core the sweet pepper lengthwise. In a medium bowl, combine the chickpeas, sweet pepper, a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the vinaigrette, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Arrange on a lined sheet pan and roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until the sweet pepper is browned and tender and the chickpeas are crispy and beginning to brown. Transfer the sweet pepper to a cutting board to cool.
Mise en place
Thinly slice the sweet pepper lengthwise. Halve the tomatoes.
Sear the halloumi
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.
Dress the bulgur & serve
To the bowl of freekeh, add the spinach, ½ the remaining vinaigrette, the remaining spices and S&P; stir well. Divide the freekeh between your bowls. Top with the halloumi, chickpeas, tomatoes and sweet pepper. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
