1
Prepare the Protein
Choose your protein option and cook it as follows: For chicken, grill for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through. For lamb, grill for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. For falafel, fry in oil until golden brown.
2
Prepare the Side
Choose your side option and prepare it. For hummus, blend chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil until smooth. For tabbouleh, chop parsley, tomatoes, onion, and mix with bulgur, lemon juice, and olive oil. For fattoush, mix greens with toasted pita and a lemony dressing.
3
Cook the Rice
In a pot, combine 1 cup of basmati rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of saffron. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy.
4
Grill the Veggies
Slice bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then grill until tender.
5
Assemble the Dish
On a plate, serve the cooked protein alongside the chosen side option, grilled veggies, and a generous serving of saffron basmati rice. Include a pita on the side.
