  1. Boil a kettle. Heat a medium saucepan filled with boiling water on high heat. Add the rice and boil for 25-30 mins, until cooked, then drain.
  2. In a bowl, mix half the zhoug with the Heura and leave to marinate.
  3. Make the salad; finely slice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Slice the cucumber into 1/2cm half-moons. Add all to a bowl and toss with the vinegar, cumin seeds, 1/2 tbsp olive oil and remaining zhoug. Season to taste with sea salt then set aside.
  4. Heat a large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the Heura and cook for 3-4 mins, tossing frequently, until golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  5. Once the rice is cooked, reheat the frying pan used for the Heura with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Add the cashews and fry for one minute until golden then add the turmeric, ground cumin, spinach and cooked rice. Mix well and cook for 2-3 mins, until the spinach has wilted. Season with sea salt to taste.
  6. Serve the rice topped with the Heura and the tomato salad on the side.
