1

3

Cook aromatics, broccoli

In large sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons butter on medium until melted. Add shallots and a pinch of salt and sauté until just soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and Moroccan spice mix and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove shallots and spices from heat and stir into rice, which should still be cooking. Stir ½ of minced mint into rice, reserving the rest for lemon yogurt.

4

Sauté veggies

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the same sauté pan until shimmering. Sauté asparagus and broccolini with a couple pinches of salt until tender, yet crisp and bright green, 5 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, coarsely chop walnuts. Turn heat to medium-low, stir in rice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts.

5

Make lemon yogurt, plate

Stir lemon zest and remainder of mint into Greek yogurt. Divide rice evenly between two plates. Top with a dollop of lemon yogurt and serve lemon wedges on the side.
