Step 1

Adjust rack to top position and heat broiler to high. Place 4 skewers (all for 4 servings) in a shallow dish and cover with water to soak. • Halve, peel, and dice half the onion; grate the remaining half on the large holes of a box grater. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add diced onion and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until lightly browned and softened, 3-4 minutes. • Add rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), half the stock concentrate (you’ll use the rest later), and ½ tsp Shawarma Spice Blend (1 tsp for 4; you’ll use the rest later). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) to room temperature. Wash and dry produce. • Finely dice tomato. Trim and finely dice cucumber. Quarter lemon.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, gently combine beef*, grated onion, remaining Shawarma Spice Blend, remaining stock concentrate, ¾ tsp salt (1½ tsp for 4 servings) and pepper. • Divide beef mixture into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin log on a cutting board. Press each log around a skewer, sealing the meat and leaving 2-3 inches of skewer uncovered at the bottom.

Step 4

Place beef skewers on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Roast on top rack until cooked through, 5-6 minutes.

Step 5

While skewers cook, in a second medium bowl, combine tomato, cucumber, a squeeze of lemon juice (2 squeezes for 4 servings), a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. • In a third medium bowl, whisk together hummus, 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings), a squeeze of lemon juice to taste, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.

Step 6

Toast pitas. Spread with softened butter, then cut each pita into four pieces. • Fluff rice with a fork. Taste and season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice, beef skewers, tomato salad, and pitas between bowls. Drizzle skewers with lemony hummus. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
