Side dishes consisted of rice topped with cracked black sesame seeds, steamed carrot slices sautéed in butter and olive oil; and a salad of iceberg lettuce, arugula, salad greens, and cherry tomatoes with a creamy sesame dressing.

The meal was quite simple, hubby lightly browned uncooked rice in butter; and added saffron, chicken broth, julienned homegrown bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and various remains from the New Year Platter. It was surpisingly tasty, but I think I would have crumbled the meatballs though.
