Ingredients

Scale

3 tbsp olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
1 ½ tsp ground turmeric
¾ tsp curry powder
¾ tsp kosher salt
3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
1 ½ cups basmati or jasmine rice
700–800 g lean ground beef
2 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
6 garlic cloves, pressed
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 yellow onion, grated
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup tzatziki
Pickled red onions
1 pint baby tomatoes, halved
½ cup hummus
1 cup black olives
1 green pepper, sliced thin
Pitas
6 lemon wedges
Fresh herbs for garnish (dill, mint, and/or parsley)

Instructions

Sauté the onion: In a large skillet, drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and sauté it for about 5 minutes until it starts turning translucent.
Sprinkle in the turmeric and curry powder. Stir it all together for about a minute to infuse the flavors.
Toss in the basmati rice and stir for another minute. Add the broth and ¾ teaspoon kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Combine ground beef, pressed garlic, grated onion, 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, oregano, breadcrumbs, and egg in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly but gently.
Shape the meat mixture into small patties. In a separate skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat and cook the meatballs for 6-8 minutes until browned.
Grab your meal prep container and start by adding a scoop of fluffy rice. Layer with meatballs, tzatziki, crumbled feta, and halved tomatoes.
Add a scoop of hummus, a handful of black olives, and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Finish with lemon wedges.
