In a #small pot{}, combine @jasmine rice{1%cup}, 1¼ cups water, ½ tsp @tuscan heat spice{1%tsp}, and a pinch of @salt{1%tsp}. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook, covered, until rice is tender, ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Wash and dry produce. Peel and mince @garlic{2%cloves}. Halve, peel, and mince half the @shallot{1%unit}. Finely dice @tomato{1%unit}. Pick @parsley{2%tbsp} leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Roughly chop @walnuts{⅓%cup}. Quarter @lemon{1%unit}.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine garlic and @olive oil{3%tbsp}. Microwave on high until fragrant, ~{45%seconds}. Add shallot, tomato, parsley, walnuts, @golden raisins{3%tbsp}, and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season relish with salt and @black pepper{1%tsp} to taste.

Slice @grilling cheese{6%pieces} lengthwise into 6 pieces. Brush all over with a drizzle of oil. Place remaining Tuscan Heat Spice on a plate; press cheese into spice, coating both sides.

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

Fluff 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{2%tbsp} as you like. Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice.
