Cooking Steps
1
- Halve and peel the onion. Finely chop half and cut the other half into thin slices.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the lemon.
- Roughly chop the mushrooms.
- Halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Slice into thin strips.
- Drain the cheese then chop into 1cm cubes. Place in a bowl of cold water and leave to soak.
2
- Place a pot over medium-high heat with ½ tbsp butter (double for 4p) and a drizzle of oil.
- When hot, fry the finely chopped onion until softened, 2-3 mins.
- Stir in the rice, stock powder and 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p).
- Bring to the boil then lower the heat to medium and cover with the lid.
- Cook for 10 mins, then remove the pot from the heat and keep covered for 10 mins more (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
3
- Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with ½ tbsp of butter (double for 4p) and a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the garlic and sliced onion until fragrant, 3-4 mins.
- Add the Middle Eastern spice mix, pepper and mushrooms and fry on high heat until softened, 6-8 mins.
- Stir in 2 tsp lemon juice (double for 4p). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer from the pan and cover to keep warm.
4
- Transfer the cheese to a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat dry.
- Wipe the pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, fry the cheese until golden, shifting frequently, 4-5 mins.
5
- Meanwhile, roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
- In a bowl, mix half the coriander with the yoghurt, chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice), 2 tsp lemon juice and ½ tbsp oil (double both for 4p).
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between bowls.
- Spoon over the spiced veg.
- Arrange cubes of golden fried cheese on top.
- Finish with a dollop of yoghurt sauce and a sprinkling of remaining coriander.
