Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and broth concentrate to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Cook rice and make toum
2
  • Add rice and peas to the pot of boiling water and reduce heat to low. Cook, still covered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min.
  • Meanwhile, combine mayo, 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Pickle cabbage
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
  • When hot, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves and most of the liquid is absorbed, 1-2 min. 
  • Remove pan from heat. Transfer cabbage, including liquid, to a medium bowl. Set aside in the fridge to cool.
  • Carefully wipe the pan clean.
Prep and cook tofu
4
  • Pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Add tofu, onions, Turkish Spice Blend, remaining garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu mixture. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish cabbage and rice
5
  • Meanwhile, add half the parsley to the bowl with pickled cabbage. Toss to combine.
  • Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lemon zest and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Finish and serve
6

If you've opted to get tofu, pat tofu dry with paper towels. Using a fork, poke tofu all over, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Season tofu in the same way the recipe instructs you to season the chicken breasts. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then tofu mixture. Cook, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden-brown all over, 6-7 min. Follow the rest of the recipe as written.
