Rice with Chick Peas image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Yield 6 to 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 pound dried chick peas, picked over and soaked for 3 hours or overnight
2 quarts water
1 bay leaf
2ounce piece salt pork, rind removed
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and finely chopped
3 ounces smoked slab bacon, rind removed and cut into 1/4inch dice
1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry

Steps:

  • Drain the soaked chick peas and, in a large pot, combine them with the water and the bay leaf. Bring up to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer covered for about 2 1/2 hours, or until tender. Drain, reserving the cooking water, and discard the bay leaf. There should be 3 cups of liquid, if necessary, add some water to make up the amount.
  • Heat a large ovenproof casserole over low heat and cook the salt pork, turning it over occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the yellow pepper, garlic, and bacon and cook for about 8 minutes more, until all the vegetables are softened. Tip the pan to the side and spoon off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat. Add the rice and stir for about 3 minutes, until it is well coated with the fat and just beginning to brown. Add the salt, pepper, sherry, the reserved 3 cups cooking liquid, and the chick peas.
  • Cook partially covered over medium high heat without stirring until most of the liquid has been absorbed and small craters appear in the top of the rice, 20 to 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, stir the rice with a fork, and cover tightly. Cook for about 10 minutes more, until the rice is tender. Remove the salt pork and serve.

SWEET CURRY CHICKPEA CASSEROLE



Sweet Curry Chickpea Casserole image

This is an adaptation of Dreena Burton's recipe from Vive le Vegan. It is fantastic, especially served over jasmine rice. You can either bake it or put it in the slow cooker. It keeps very well in the refrigerator--I think it tastes best a day or two after it is cooked. Alternatively, you can make Sweet Curry Chickpea Bisque by adding two cups of water and pureeing most of the mixture with a hand blender after cooking (adjust salt and spices to taste).

Flavorful dish that does a decent job of hiding eggplant's texture.

Provided by tradingtrio

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Stews

Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, minced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 eggplants, cut into chunks
1 red chile pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
2 teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly crushed
1 teaspoon saffron threads
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups drained and rinsed canned chickpeas
½ cup pitted large green olives
½ cup basmati rice
1 thin-skinned lemon, thinly sliced
2 ½ cups vegetable broth
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions and garlic in the hot oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in eggplant, red chile pepper, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, saffron, and salt; cook until eggplant starts to soften, about 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of rice. Short-grain rice, like Arborio or Carnaroli, is best for this recipe because it absorbs the cooking liquid and becomes creamy.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight. This will help soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 2 minutes, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Brown the chicken and spare ribs before adding them to the casserole. This will help develop their flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Use a flavorful broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options. You can also use water, but the casserole will have less flavor.
  • Season the casserole to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Cook the casserole until the rice is tender and the chicken and spare ribs are cooked through. This will take about 30 minutes in a 375°F oven.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld and the rice absorb any remaining liquid.

Conclusion:

Spare rib, rice, and chickpea casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables, this casserole is a complete meal in one pot. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this casserole a try.
