4 servings
- 3 cups cooked long-grain white rice, day-old and cold
- 3 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 4 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 tsp dried oregano
Ingredient noteOregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/2 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Ingredient noteEggs are safe during pregnancy as long as they are cooked all the way through.
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp lemon zest
- ¼ tsp salt, or to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Break up the cold rice with your hands or a fork so there are no large clumps, then set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the tamari, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the garlic-infused olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and beginning to char at the edges, about 3 minutes.
