Cooking Steps
-
Wash and dry produce.
-
Trim and halve zucchini; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
- In a large pot, combine zucchini, lentils and their liquid, crushed tomatoes, Tunisian Spice Blend, and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium; uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender and stew has thickened, 4-5 minutes.
-
While stew cooks, in a medium microwave-safe bowl (large microwave-safe bowl for 4 servings), toss together grain blend, apricots, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
-
Cover tightly with plastic wrap. Microwave until grains are warmed through, 2–3 minutes (3–4 minutes for 4).
-
Carefully remove plastic wrap. Add almonds and stir to combine.
-
Once stew has thickened and zucchini is tender, reduce heat to low. Add chimichurri and spinach to pot; cook, stirring, until spinach has wilted. TIP: Depending on the size of your pot, you may need to add spinach in batches.
-
Divide lentil and zucchini stew between bowls. Top with apricot-almond grains. Drizzle with as much harissa aioli as you like. Garnish with feta and serve.
