In a #small pot{}, combine @jasmine rice{1.5%cup}, 1 1/4 cups water (2 cups for 4 servings), 1/2 tsp @Tuscan Heat Spice{2%tbsp} (1 tsp for 4), and a pinch of @salt{}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Wash and dry produce.
Peel and mince @garlic{2%clove}. Halve, peel, and mince half the @shallot{1%unit} (all for 4 servings). Finely dice @tomato{2%unit}. Pick @parsley{0.5%ounce} leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Roughly chop @walnuts{1%ounce}. Quarter @lemon{2%unit}.

In a #medium microwave-safe bowl{}, combine @garlic and 1 TBSP @olive oil{2%tbsp} (2 TBSP for 4 servings). Microwave on high until fragrant, ~{45%seconds}.
Add shallot, tomato, parsley, walnuts, @golden raisins{2%ounce}, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season relish with @salt{} and @black pepper{} to taste.

Slice @grilling cheese{12%ounce} lengthwise into 6 pieces (12 pieces for 4 servings). Brush all over with a drizzle of oil. Place remaining Tuscan Heat Spice on a plate; press cheese into spice, coating both sides. (It's OK if not all the spice sticks.)

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{2%tsp} in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add seasoned grilling cheese and cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side.

Fluff jasmine rice with a fork; taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired. Divide rice between bowls. Top with grilling cheese and relish. Drizzle with as much @balsamic glaze{10%tsp} as you like. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
