Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup dry freekeh
  • 1-14 oz can of garbanzo beans
  • 1 large tomato chopped (about 1/2 cup)
  • 3 oz crumbled feta cheese
  • 6 artichoke heart pieces 2/3 of a 14 oz can
  • 1 TBSP freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 1 TBSP fresh mint chopped
  • 1/2 TSP paprika
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook freekeh according to package directions. Once cooked, season with salt and keep warm until ready to mix with other ingredients.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drain chickpeas, and place in a bowl. Drizzle 1 TBSP of olive oil over beans, and season with 1/4 TSP salt and paprika + 1/8 tsp pepper. Toss to combine, and bake for about 20 minutes, or until lightly browned. Use a spatula to flip the beans over, season with another 1/4 TSP of salt and paprika, then cook until crispy to your liking.
  • Chop the tomato, mint and artichoke hearts. Place in a large bowl, and add in the freekeh. Drizzle the fresh lemon juice and remaining 1 TBSP of olive oil in. Add in the crispy chickpeas, and season with more salt and pepper to taste. Mix together well, and pour into a serving dish.
