Rice Pilaf

Homemade Sauce (optional)

Method

Rice Pilaf

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    Add 1 cup of basmati rice to the saucepan and stir to coat with oil. Pour in 2 cups of vegetable broth. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

  3. 3

    Fluff the Rice

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

Roasted Vegetables

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the chopped bell peppers, sliced zucchini, sliced carrots, and onion wedges. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of dried oregano. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.

  3. 6

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

Homemade Sauce (optional)

  1. 7

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of tahini, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 minced garlic clove, and 2 tablespoons of water. Season with salt to taste.
