Cook rice
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/8 tsp mild, 1/4 tsp medium and 1/2 tsp extra! Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then rice and Shawarma Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add broth concentrate, 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low.
