Cooking Steps

Cook golden rice
1
  • Before starting, to a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, half the Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend, half the sumac and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) beef stock powder. Season with pepper. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • 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.
Prep
2
  • Meanwhile, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Cut half the eggplant (use all for 4 servings) into 1/2-inch pieces.
Start stew
3
  • In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium-high.
  • When the pot is hot, add turkey, eggplant and onions. Cook for 4-6 min, breaking up turkey into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.** (TIP: Stir, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan to add flavour.) Season with salt and pepper.
Simmer stew and finish
4
  • To the same pot, add tomato sauce base, remaining beef stock powder, remaining Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and 1 1/2 cups (3 cups) water. Bring mixture up to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce to medium-low and cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until stew thickens slightly.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and remaining sumac.
  • Fluff rice with a fork.
  • Divide rice and stew between bowls. Sprinkle sumac salt over stew.
  • Roughly tear parsley over top.
