Cooking Steps

Start rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Heat a medium pot over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan to melt.
  • Add rice, half the garlic and Shawarma Spice Blend. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until fragrant and toasted.
Cook rice
2
  • Add lentils, canning liquid, 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 12-14 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
  • Remove the pot from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Roast cauliflower
3
  • Meanwhile, cut cauliflower into bite-sized pieces.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add cauliflower, Harissa Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven for 14-16 min, flipping halfway through, until tender.
Make garlic-yogurt sauce
4
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • To a small bowl, add yogurt, remaining garlic, half the lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Fluff rice with a fork.
  • Add half the parsley and half the cauliflower to rice. Stir to combine.
Finish and serve
