Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra! Combine freekeh, 1 broth concentrate (2 for 4 ppl) and 1 1/4 cups water (dbl for 4 ppl) in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Simmer, still covered, until freekeh is tender and liquid is absorbed, 22-25 min.
While the freekeh cooks, cut the pepper into 1/2-inch cubes. Roughly chop the spinach. Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Drain and rinse the chickpeas.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the onions and peppers. Cook, until veggies soften, 3-4 min. Add the chickpeas, Indian Spice Mix, remaining broth concentrate, tomato sauce, 1 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl) and half the garlic. Simmer, until slightly reduced, 6-7 min. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
While the chickpeas braise, mix the mayo, lemon zest, 1 tbsp lemon juice (dbl for 4 ppl) and 1/4 tsp garlic together in a small bowl. (NOTE: Reference Garlic Guide.) Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Stir the spinach into the chickpea braise, until wilted, 1-2 min. Season the freekeh with salt. Divide the freekeh between bowls and top with the chickpea braise. Crumble over the feta. Drizzle the lemon-garlic toum over top.
