- Squeeze the lemon juice and add it to the basmati rice, and add the turmeric. Cook the rice stirring often.
- When the rice is cooked through, drain the liquid and set aside.
- Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a skillet and add the red onion, green and red bell pepper, harissa, and anchovy fillets. Mix and cook them together until the veggies start to soften.

- Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil in the skillet and mix. Continue to cook.
- Add the tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar and about 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix and let it simmer on low heat.
