Ingredients
Instructions
Cook the quinoa. In a large saucepan, combine the quinoa with 1 3/4 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has doubled in size and absorbed the water. Turn the heat off and let the quinoa sit, covered, for another 10 minutes while you work on other things. Fluff with a fork before using.
Assemble the Mediterranean bowls. Using 6 shallow dinner bowls, begin dividing the hummus in the middle (about 2 large spoonfuls per bowl). Divide the quinoa and the salad on either side of the hummus. Fill the gaps with the feta cheese, olives, a spoonful of harissa (if using), and marinated artichoke hearts.
Finish and serve. Drizzle a little olive oil over the hummus and wherever else you like. And if you like, sprinkle on Aleppo pepper and/or sumac to season. Enjoy immediately.
