This has been my go-to side dish for months now. It uses just a few pantry spices – coriander, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper – so the prep time is incredibly short here. And the blend of spices is absolutely incredible.

Not to mention the finishing touches of the red onion slices, parsley, mint and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

It is simply perfect, complementing all your favorite mains. I particularly like to pair this with my IP rotisserie chicken for a complete meal, and a glass of wine of course to round it all out.
