Instructions

Cook Rice
1

• In a small pot, combine rice, 1 1⁄2 cups water (3 cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Prep
2

• While rice cooks, wash and dry produce. • Peel and dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

Make Stew
3

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot (large pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato, kale, scallion whites, raisins, chickpeas and their liquid, stock concentrate, Shawarma Spice Blend, 1⁄2 cup water (1 cup for 4), a pinch of salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sweet potato is tender, 8-10 minutes. • Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.

Finish & Serve
4

• While stew cooks, in a small bowl, combine harissa aioli with water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency. • Fluff rice with a fork; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) until melted. • Divide rice and stew between shallow bowls in separate sections. Drizzle with harissa aioli. Sprinkle with almonds and scallion greens. Serve.
