Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, broth concentrate and Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- To a medium bowl, add Middle Eastern Seasoning, bison, half the panko (use all for 4 servings) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) milk. Season with salt and pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 6 (12) equal-sized logs.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange koftas.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 13-15 min, until golden and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Halve cucumbers lengthwise. Cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- In a large bowl, toss together tomatoes, cucumbers, half the parsley and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil. (TIP: We love the flavour of olive oil here!) Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast for 4-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them, so they don't burn!)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, almonds and raisins. Season with salt.
- Divide rice between plates. Top with koftas and cucumber-tomato salad.
- Drizzle yogurt sauce over top, then sprinkle with remaining parsley.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The bison koftas were well-seasoned and tasty, though some found the rice and salad lacking in flavor.
- Suggestions: Consider adding extra spices to the rice for more flavor; you might prefer it without raisins.
- Portions: The bison was praised as a good meat option, even for those trying to reduce meat consumption.
