Instructions
- Make Toum (Garlic Sauce): In a blender, combine garlic, vegetable oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste. Set aside.
- Prepare Rice with Red Sauce: In a saucepan, combine rice, water, tomato sauce, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is cooked and the sauce is absorbed. Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.

- Grill Halloumi: If using a grill, brush the grill grates with oil and add the halloumi. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat, drizzle with oil, and add the halloumi. Cook for about 1 minute per side or until grill marks appear.
- Prepare Lemon Sparkling Water: Add lemon slices to the sparkling water.
- Assemble and Serve: Place the grilled chicken kebabs on a plate with the rice. Arrange the grilled halloumi on the side. Serve the pita bread with a dollop of toum on the side. Garnish the rice with additional sauce if desired. Serve with lemon sparkling water.
