Marinated Meat

Rice

Salad

Method

Marinated Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Meat

    Add chicken thighs or beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat for 6-8 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Rice

  1. 4

    Rinse Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

  2. 5

    Cook Rice

    In a pot, combine rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.

Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare Vegetables

    Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Finely chop the parsley.

  2. 7

    Make Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss gently to combine.
