with Garlic Spinach Rice & Almonds
The star of this 15-minute Mediterranean bowl is the halloumi grilling cheese—golden and crispy outside with all the melty goodness kept inside! You'll sear it to a crisp finish and set it over herby garlic rice with wilted spinach. Drizzle with a vibrant cilantro–red pepper jam sauce with mandarin orange brightness, then shower with almonds for crunchy contrast.

Wash and dry produce.
Dice cheese into 1-inch pieces. Roughly chop cilantro. Halve mandarin orange.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add grilling cheese and cook until browned, 1-2 minutes per side.
While cheese cooks, in a small bowl, combine cilantro, jam, half the cumin, half the vinegar, 1 TBSP olive oil, juice from mandarin orange, a pinch of salt and pepper, and as many chili flakes as you like (all the cumin, all the vinegar, and 2 TBSP olive oil for 4 servings).
Massage rice in package to break up grains. Roughly chop spinach.
To a large microwave-safe bowl, add rice, spinach, and garlic herb butter. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until rice is warmed through and spinach is wilted, 3-4 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork; stir in half the almonds. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
Divide garlic spinach rice between shallow bowls and top with cheese. Drizzle with mandarin cilantro sauce and sprinkle with remaining almonds. Serve.
