Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Tarator Sauce:
Almond Aioli
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, finely grated
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
Rice Cakes:
1 cup long-grain white rice (such as jasmine or basmati), rinsed
Kosher salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, and/or mint)
1 teaspoon olive oil
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Tarator Sauce:
  • Blend Almond Aioli, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender to combine; season with salt and pepper.
  • Rice Cakes:
  • Cook rice in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, stirring often to separate grains and prevent sticking, 6 minutes. Drain well and spread out on a rimmed baking sheet to cool. Transfer cooled rice to a medium bowl.
  • Whisk egg, egg yolk, 1/2 cup tarator sauce, and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl to combine and add to rice. Season with salt and pepper and stir to combine; set aside.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil and 1 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium. Just as butter starts to brown, drop four 1/4-cupfuls of rice mixture into skillet and gently press down with a spatula to make 1/2"-thick cakes. Cook cakes until edges and bottoms are golden brown and crisp, 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack (they're only cooked on one side). Wipe out skillet and repeat process with remaining vegetable oil, butter, and rice mixture to make 4 more cakes.
  • Toss herbs with olive oil and remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice in a clean small bowl; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide 1/2 cup tarator sauce among plates and top each with 2 cakes. Squeeze lemon wedges over and season with more salt. Top with herbs.
