About

This protein-packed Chickpea and Spicy Beef Bowl is comforting with bold aromatic flavors. Spiced beef is cooked with chickpeas until rich and flavorful, served over vermicelli rice that catches all the juices. A feta and tomato salad adds freshness and tang, while cool yogurt and cucumbers cut through the spice, and some salty briny olives round out the bowl.
