Before starting, wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups water, 1/8 tsp salt (dbl both for 4 ppl) and broth concentrate to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While broth comes to a boil, roughly chop parsley. Zest, then juice half the lemon (whole lemon for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lemon into wedges.
Add rice and peas to the boiling broth and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. While rice cooks, mix mayo, 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp garlic puree (dbl both for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add cabbage, vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 1 tsp sugar (dbl both for 4 ppl). Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bright pink, 1-2 min. Remove the pan from heat. Transfer cabbage, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl. Place in the fridge to cool. Carefully wipe the same pan clean.
Heat the same pan over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then lamb, onions, Turkish Spice Blend and remaining garlic puree. Cook, breaking up lamb into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Add half the parsley to the bowl with pickled cabbage. Toss to combine. Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in lemon zest and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide rice between plates, then top with pickled cabbage and lamb. Sprinkle with remaining parsley and dollop with garlic toum sauce. Squeeze over a lemon wedge, if desired.
