  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Lots of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups of cooked rice of choice (I love jasmine or brown rice!)
  • 1 cup roasted chickpeas (I love Biena) or regular rinsed and drained chickpeas work too!

  • Fresh mint leaves

Notes

  • Make the Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Feta Sauce ahead of time and use half for this recipe, saving the rest for snacks. Serve with warm torn pita to scoop up all the delicious components. Store leftovers covered in the fridge up to 3 days.
