Instructions
 

Spiced Lamb

  • Heat a large saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil.

Bowl Assembly

  • Scoop a little rice on the side of the bowl.
  • Add ground lamb, diced tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and hummus. Sprinkle with feta and minced mint.
  • Serve with pita wedges and garnish with fresh mint.

Turmeric Rice:

  • Heat oil and ghee in a medium saucepan. Once ghee is melted, saute onions and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Toss in rice and turmeric, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. Add broth, bay leaves, bring to a boil. As soon as it's boiling, cover, reduce heat and cook for 17 minutes.
