Mediterranean Fried Rice

About two months ago some of my friends and I went to San Diego for a wedding. As you can imagine we looked ahead of time to decide what places we wanted to eat. One of the places we had brunch at had Mediterranean fried rice and it was honestly one fo the best brunches I've ever had. So I decided to try and recreate it. Below is my version. I hope you enjoy it.
