Preparation
Roast the carrots
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large).
- On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ⅓ of the za'atar and S&P.
- Roast, flipping halfway, 18 to 22 min., until tender.
- Drizzle with ½ the pomegranate molasses.
Cook the bulgur
- Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the bulgur, ¾ cup water (double for 4 portions), ½ the remaining za'atar and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed.
- Fluff the bulgur and allow to cool.
Mise en place
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley leaves and stems.
- Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise.
- In a small bowl, make the vinaigrette by combining the remaining pomegranate molasses, 1 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions) and S&P.
Make the tabbouleh
- To the pot of bulgur, add the cucumbers, parsley, vinaigrette and S&P; toss well.
Toast the pita
- Brush the pita with oil; season with the remaining za'atar and S&P.
- Toast the pita directly on an oven rack, 2 to 3 min., until warmed through.
- Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
Plate your dish
- Divide the hummus between your plates and spread out in a circular motion.
- Top with the carrots, tabbouleh and pita. Bon appétit!
