Ground Beef Bowl with Turmeric Rice, Dill Sauce & Pickled Onions

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1

   Make the pickled onions: slice half a red onion and pack it into a jar. Bring vinegar, water, and a sprinkle of salt to a boil, then pour the hot brine over the onions and let them cool.

2. 2

   Make the rice: add 180 g white rice to a rice cooker with 250 g water, 5 g chicken bouillon powder, about 1 g turmeric, 1 g dried oregano, and one crushed garlic clove. Stir to combine, cover, and cook until done.

3. 3

   Make the dill sauce: in a jar, mix 150 g low-fat sour cream, 50 g mayonnaise, about 4 g dried dill, a splash of vinegar, and about 50 g water until smooth and pourable.

4. 4

   Cook the beef: heat a griddle or skillet until ripping hot, add the half pound of ground beef, and smash it down flat to maximize browning.

5. 5

   Once the beef has good color, season with salt, Aleppo pepper, and dried minced garlic, then break it up into small pieces with a spatula and cook through, about 4 minutes total.

6. 6

   Chop the cilantro stems for crunch.

7. 7

   Assemble: add half the cooked rice to a bowl, top with all of the beef, drizzle over 15 to 20 g of the dill sauce, add pickled onions, and finish with the chopped cilantro stems.
