Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; cut crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
Pat steak dry with paper towels; season generously all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add steak and cook to desired doneness, 3-6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board to rest.
In pot used for steak, 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.
Slice steak against the grain.
Divide lentil and zucchini stew between bowls. Top with apricot-almond grains and sliced steak. Drizzle with as much harissa aioli as you like. Garnish with feta and serve.
