Cooking Steps
- Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add rice, Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend, and vegetable stock powder. Stir to combine, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar to a small pot. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Once simmering, cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
- Remove from heat. Transfer cabbage, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
- Place pickled cabbage in the fridge to cool.
- Toss falafel with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil on an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 8-10 min.
- Pat chicken breast tenders dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken breast tenders. Sear until tenders are golden-brown and cooked through, 3-4 min per side.**
- While falafel roasts, halve tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Roughly chop cilantro.
- Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in cilantro.
- Drain pickled cabbage.
- Divide rice and spinach between bowls.
- Top with cabbage, tomatoes and falafel.
