Instructions
- Melt the vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic powder, pepper & couscous. Toast for about a minute. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove the lid, add the lemon juice and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, combine the harissa paste, soy sauce, smoked paprika, oregano, pepper and a splash of water in a bowl. Mix to combine and set aside.
- In another skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic & bell pepper and cook down for 3 minutes. Add the vegan beef crumbles and harissa sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the "beef" is slightly crispy and the veggies are tender. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Turn to low until ready to serve.
- While the beef is cooking, combine the feta sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix to combine, taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- To serve, spread some hummus on the bottom of each bowl. Top with couscous and vegan beef. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and serve with the feta sauce and naan.

Notes
- I like the vegan beef crumbles from Trader Joe's. If you use a different brand that is frozen, thaw before using. If you don't like vegan beef crumbles, sub cooked lentils.
