Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. 
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice, Cumin-Turmeric Spice Blend and vegetable stock powder. Stir to combine, then 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.
Pickle cabbage
2
  • Meanwhile, to a small pot, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water and 2 tsp (4 tsp) sugar. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.
  • Once simmering, cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from heat. Transfer cabbage, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl.
  • Place pickled cabbage in the fridge to cool.
Roast falafel and cook chicken

  • On an unlined baking sheet, toss falafel with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-10 min, flipping halfway through, until browned.
  • Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
