This dish has so many components to it so make this when you need to escape to the kitchen to cook. Do any of you consider cooking to be relaxing? It is definitely a task where you can tap into your creativity, let go of stress, spend alone time and then enjoy something delicious. This is a dish that you can take your time with and use new spices and veggies. A word about radishes: they are very bitter raw. I used to like them in salads but for some reason I just couldn't enjoy them when just dipping them in hummus and eating them raw. So I baked them and added them to this dish and they actually tasted yummy. I fried the rice for this recipe. Yeah...it gives it a delicious pop, but it's totally optional. However, I suggest you do this.
