Mediterranean Rice Bowl Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Saffron Rice

   In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add salt and saffron threads. Stir in the basmati rice and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

2. 2

   Make the Sumac Onion & Tomato Salad

   In a bowl, combine diced red onion and tomato. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sumac, salt, and black pepper. Toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes to marinate.

3. 3

   Prepare Roasted Corn

   If using fresh corn, roast the corn on a grill until slightly charred. If using canned or frozen corn, simply heat it through in a pan. Set aside.

4. 4

   Assemble the Bowl

   In a serving bowl, place a generous scoop of saffron rice. Top with the sumac onion and tomato salad, roasted corn, pickled chili, and crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with additional olive oil if desired.
