Ingredients

Servings

For the turmeric rice

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 3/4 tsp curry powder
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups basmati or jasmine rice

For the meatballs

  • 700-800 g lean ground beef
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 6 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 yellow onion, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the toppings

  • 1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 cup tzatziki (make our Tzatziki Recipe)
  • pickled red onions (make our Pickled Red Onions)
  • 1 pint baby tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 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

Make the turmeric rice

  1. Put a medium pot over medium heat and add olive oil. Once warm, add diced onion and cook 4-5 minutes to soften.
  2. Stir in turmeric powder, curry powder and salt and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  3. Stir in the rice and stir frequently, until the rice is evenly coated, about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Turn to low heat, place on the lid and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15-18 minutes. Remove from the heat, fluff with a fork and put the lid on again for 10 minutes.  After 10 minutes, remove the lid and fluff with a fork and set aside.

Make the meatballs

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the meatballs: Mix together the ground beef, salt, pepper, pressed garlic, dried oregano, egg, grated onion, breadcrumb and olive oil. Once combined, scoop about 2-3 tbsp at a time and form into meatballs. You'll have about 20-22 meatballs. Place the meatballs onto the sheet pan and cook for 24-26 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.

Assemble the meal prep containers

  1. Once the meatballs and turmeric rice are cooked, assemble the 6 meal prep containers / bowls by layering the rice and meatballs (about 3-4 meatballs per container) followed by dividing the rest of the toppings ingredients evenly between the 6 containers.
