Instructions
- 1.Preheat your oven to 200°C. On a large baking sheet, toss the sliced fennel and cherry tomatoes with 30ml of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, until the fennel is tender and caramelized.
- 2.While the vegetables roast, cook the freekeh. In a medium saucepan, combine the freekeh, vegetable broth, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
- 3.To prepare the herb drizzle, combine the parsley, mint, garlic cloves, juice from one lemon, and the remaining 45ml of olive oil in a small blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and season with salt and pepper.
- 4.In a small, dry pan over medium heat, toast the sunflower seeds for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- 5.Assemble your bowls. Divide the cooked freekeh among four bowls. Top with the roasted fennel, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas.
- 6.Drizzle generously with the fresh herb sauce and sprinkle with the toasted sunflower seeds just before serving.
