  1. 1
    Wash and dry all produce. Halve and peel shallot ; thinly slice one half and mince remaining. Fill a small bowl with cold water; add sliced shallot and soak. (TIP: This helps mellow its sharp bite.) Dice tomato . Trim and dice mini cucumber . Zest (using a zester ) and quarter lemon . Pick and finely chop fronds from dill .

    Drain sliced shallot, discarding liquid; place in a medium bowl . Toss with tomato, cucumber, juice from half the lemon, a drizzle of olive oil , and 1 TBSP chopped dill (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Season with salt and black pepper .
    olive oil: 2 tsp, salt: 4 tsp, black pepper: 1 tsp

    Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add minced shallot; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add bulgur wheat , 1 cup water, chicken stock concentrate , 1/2 tsp harissa powder (we sent more - use the rest as you like), and 1/2 tsp salt (for 4 servings, use 2 cups water, 1 tsp harissa, and 1 tsp salt). Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until water has absorbed and bulgur is tender, 12-15 minutes. Turn off heat; keep covered until ready to serve.

    Meanwhile, pat chicken cutlets dry with paper towels ; season all over with 1/2 tsp za'atar spice (1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. (Be sure to measure the Za'atar Spice - we sent more.) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. TIP: Work in batches if necessary. Transfer chicken to a cutting board . Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.

    While chicken cooks, in a second small bowl , combine sour cream , half the feta cheese (all for 4 servings), and lemon zest to taste; mash together with a fork. (TIP: If the feta is cold, massage in package first to soften.) Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. (It's OK if the sauce isn't completely smooth.)
    sour cream: 1 tbsp, feta cheese: 1 c

    Drain any excess liquid from bulgur; fluff with a fork. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Spread hummus on one side of each serving bowl. Serve bulgur next to hummus; top with chicken. Top hummus with salad (draining first). Drizzle everything with feta sauce. Garnish with remaining chopped dill if desired. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
