Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
In a small pot, combine rice, stock concentrate, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes.
Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
While rice cooks, cut broccoli into bite-size pieces if necessary.
Toss broccoli on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 12-15 minutes.
While broccoli roasts, heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a large drizzle of oil. Add falafel and cook until golden and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, place romesco sauce in a small microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until heated through, 30-60 seconds.
Place apricots in a second small microwave-safe bowl. Add enough water to cover and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until softened and tender, 30-60 seconds.
Fluff rice with a fork and stir in almonds, apricots (draining first), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper if needed.
Divide rice, broccoli, and romesco sauce between plates in separate sections. Top sauce with falafel and serve.
