1

½ bunch
parsley
1 tub
Greek-style yoghurt
(Contains: Milk;)
1 block

¼ cup

Rinse the basmati rice well. Bring the rice and the water (check the ingredients list for the amount) to the boil in a medium saucepan over a high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, or until the rice is soft. Drain and return to the saucepan. Cover with a lid to keep warm.
Zest the orange until you have 1 tsp for 2 people/2 tsp for 4 people. Peel the zested orange and slice the flesh into 2 cm pieces (discard any white pith). Slice the red onion into 1 cm thick wedges. Cut the carrot into matchsticks. Pick and finely chop the parsley leaves.
While the rice is cooking, place the Greek yoghurt and the orange zest in a small bowl. Stir to combine and season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper. Set aside. Slice the spicy tofu into triangles and place in a medium bowl with ½ of the zaatar. Toss to coat the tofu and set aside. TIP: Don't worry, though called spicy tofu this tofu is only mildly spiced.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until softened. Add the carrot, cooked rice, orange segments, remaining zaatar, vinegar, pistachio peanut mix (reserve some to garnish), sunflower seeds and parsley (reserve some to garnish). Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes to heat through. Set aside in a medium bowl.
Return the pan to the heat and add another drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Cook the spicy tofu for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden. Remove from the heat.
Divide the jewelled orange rice between bowls and top with the zaatar spiced tofu. Sprinkle over the remaining pistachio peanut mix, add a generous dollop of zesty yoghurt, and drizzle with olive oil. Garnish with parsley.
