1
Cook the Rice
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until all the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
2
Prepare the Shawarma Chicken
Season the chicken with shawarma spices (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric, and cinnamon). Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3
Assemble the Bowl
In a large bowl, start with a base of cooked rice. Top with chopped lettuce, sliced shawarma chicken, dolma, and a generous scoop of hummus. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice if desired.
