A sweet and savory dressing brings ancient grains to a modern table.
Place garlic and lemon juice in blender and pulse until broken down. Let rest for 5 minutes to allow lemon juice to tame the raw garlic.
Add tahini and blend on medium. Then, slowly begin drizzling ice cold water in until emulsified.
Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes. Season and adjust if necessary.
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Warp sweet potatoes in foil and bake until just soft, about 45 mins.
Place chickpeas on a sheet tray lined with parchment and bake until crunchy, about 15-20 minutes.
Warm a medium skillet on medium high heat, add extra virgin olive oil and maftoul. Cook for 1-2 minutes, add water and cover. Reduce to simmer for 10 minutes or until water is gone and grains are cooked through. Keep covered to retain heat.
To plate, start by cutting sweet potatoes length wise in half and then into wedges, and in half again to get 8 wedges per potato. Place 3 wedges on the sides of each bowl.
Layer in the gem lettuce and shredded kale. Top with maftoul, chickpeas, feta, pomegranate seeds, hemp seeds, raisins, and za’atar seasoning.
Drizzle tahini maple yogurt dressing and pomegranate molasses over bowls.
Serve immediately.
