Rice with Chickpeas (Riza't Khirtimane)

15 oz chickpeas (canned)

T. butter

salt

jasmine rice

Empty the can of chickpeas into a medium-sized pot, including the liquid. Add butter and salt, while stirring over medium heat.

Rinse, then drain the rice in a strainer and add to the same pot.

Add enough water to cover the rice by approximately 1/4"—1/2". If you prefer precise measurement, the liquid should equal two cups total. Stir and bring to a boil, then cover and cook over low heat for approximately 25 minutes. (I used to have such a hard time cooking rice. My mom finally shared that I was adding more water than necessary. Remember, you can always add more water if necessary, but if you add too much, there's no going back)!

Stir a few times while it's cooking.

Serve accompanied by a salad, pickled turnips (link in notes), and kabobs. The rice is sprinkled with sumac (optional step, but goes great with kabobs!)

This Indian inspired chickpea rice pilaf comes together quickly and easily with pantry staples. Nutty chickpeas, peanuts and veggies like bell peppers and squash fleck garam-masala-spiced brown rice, making each mouthful an adventure in texture and flavor. This is a gluten free, soy free, vegan recipe and it can easily be nut-free.

Chickpea Rice

cumin seeds

onion

tsp ginger garlic paste

jalapeno pepper

peanuts ((skip if nut-free))

yellow squash ((or zucchini))

large bell pepper

tomatoes

turmeric

tbsp garam masala

chickpeas

rice rice

Salt

cilantro

Heat oil in a large wok or skillet.

Add the cumin seeds and, when they begin to darken in a few seconds, then add in the peanuts and saute a couple of minutes.

Add the onions and saute until they are soft.

Mix in the ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute.

Add in the zucchini and bell peppers and saute for 3-4 minutes until they get fairly tender.

Add the tomatoes and toss quickly.

Stir in the powdered spices--turmeric and garam masala -- and mix with the veggies.

Add in the chickpeas, stir them in, and then add the rice. Check salt and add more if needed.

Toss the rice gently with the chickpeas and veggies, taking care not to break the rice grains, and once the rice is coated evenly with the masalas, place a lid on the skillet and let the rice steam for a couple of minutes just so it warms through.

Sprinkle on the cilantro and serve hot.
