Cooking Steps
- Before starting, wash and dry all produce
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To a medium pot, add rice, stock powder and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons
- When hot, to the dry pan, add almonds. Toast for 4-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on almonds so they don't burn.)
- Transfer to a plate.
- Return the same pan to medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and zucchini. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Transfer veggies to another plate.
- Return the same pan to medium-high.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter, then turkey. Cook for 4-5 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
- Add tomato sauce base, Middle Eastern Seasoning and garlic. Season with pepper. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
- Add veggies and 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cups) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce reduces slightly.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
- Add half the almonds (use all for 4 servings), half the parsley and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter to rice. Fluff with a fork to combine until butter melts.
- Divide almond pilaf between plates. Top with turkey and veggies.
- Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
