Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to broil.Wash and dry all produce. Add rice, 2 tsp (4 tsp) Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 16-18 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, zest, then juice lemon.Cut tomato into 1/2-inch pieces. Coarsely grate one-third of the cucumber, then cut remaining cucumber into 1/4-inch rounds.
Add beef, breadcrumbs, stock powder and 3/4 tsp (1 1/2 tsp) Zesty Garlic Blend to a medium bowl. Season with pepper, then combine. Form into 6 equal-sized kebabs (12 kebabs for 4 ppl). Arrange on an unlined baking sheet. Broil in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until cooked through, 8-10 min.**
Meanwhile, combine yogurt sauce, grated cucumber and remaining Zesty Garlic Blend in a small bowl.Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar to another medium bowl. Season with pepper, to taste, then whisk to combine.
Add lemon zest, feta, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter to the pot with rice. Fluff with a fork until butter melts.Add tomatoes, cucumber rounds and spring mix to the bowl with vinaigrette, then toss to combine.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The lemon feta rice was a delicious twist, though some found the lemon overpowering; kebabs were flavorful but a bit salty for some.
- Ease of prep: Quick to prepare, though broiling the meatballs caused smoke in some kitchens; consider using an air fryer as an alternative.
- Suggestions: Add more vegetables to balance the meal; consider reducing lemon in the rice if sensitive to citrus flavors.
- Portions: Many found the protein portion small, especially for families; more salad would be appreciated.
- Seasoning: Some felt the zesty garlic blend quantity was insufficient; consider providing extra or adjusting the recipe amounts.
