Recipe:
First, start by making the saffron basmati rice—combine all of the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Then, reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the water is gone and the rice is fully cooked. Let cool and then transfer to a container.
Combine the brussels sprouts and kale in a container to make the “splendigreens mix”.
Mix together the pickled onion ingredients in a container and store in the fridge. These can be enjoyed after an hour.
Then, dice up all the veggies and olives and store in containers.
Make the hummus and crazy feta by blending the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to containers.
Blend the tahini date dressing ingredients until smooth and store in a container. Or you can get a sauce dispenser here to use.
Cook the harissa honey chicken—add 1 tbsp of olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Then, add your chicken breasts and sauté for a few minutes. Mix together the other ingredients in a bowl and pour over the chicken. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked. Let cool and then transfer to a container.
Build your bowl by adding a layer of rice, splendigreens, veggies, pickled onions, olives, chicken, dips, and topping it all with the tahini date dressing!
