Tahini Tip

If your tahini is thick or separated, stir it well before measuring. Add the water gradually to the sauce — you want a drizzle consistency, not a paste.

Recipe

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Basmati Rice

    Add basmati rice, water, and a pinch of salt to a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the water fully absorbed. Remove from the heat and keep covered.

  2. 2

    Roast the Vegetables

    Toss the cubed bell pepper, zucchini, and sweet potato with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking tray and roast at 200 °C (400 °F) until tender and lightly charred, about 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape and Sear the Meatballs

    Combine ground turkey, egg white, oat flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix until just combined. Form into small meatballs. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the meatballs, turning occasionally, until deeply golden on all sides and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Make the Lemon-Tahini Sauce

    Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth and drizzle-able. Add more water if needed. Season with a pinch of salt.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Bowls

    Divide the rice between two containers. Add the roasted vegetables and turkey meatballs. Drizzle generously with the lemon-tahini sauce. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of extra lemon.
