Main Protein

Method

Marinating the Protein

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken or Beef

    Cut the chicken breast or beef steak into strips. Add the meat to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.

Cooking the Protein

  1. 3

    Grilling the Marinated Meat

    Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side for chicken or 8-10 minutes for beef, until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Side Dishes

  1. 4

    Making the Salad

    Chop the cucumber and tomato into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine mixed salad greens, cucumber, and tomato. In a separate small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently.

  2. 5

    Cooking the Rice

    Cook the rice according to package instructions. Typically, this involves rinsing the rice, boiling it with water (2 cups water per cup of rice), then simmering until water is absorbed.

  3. 6

    Preparing Falafel and Grape Leaves

    If using store-bought falafel, follow the package instructions for heating. For grape leaves, you can serve them cold or warm them in a pot of water until heated through.

Serving the Dish

  1. 7

    Plating the Meal

    On a plate, arrange a serving of rice, sliced grilled chicken or beef, falafel, and grape leaves. Serve with a side of hummus and the mixed salad. Offer a cup of soft drink or water on the side.
