Categories     Brown Rice

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups long grain brown rice, cooked
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until tender.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and the remaining ingredients. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better the final dish will be. Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables and meats, and use a good quality basmati rice.
  • Cook the rice properly: To achieve perfect, fluffy rice, follow the package directions carefully. Be sure to rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Add the spices and herbs at the right time: To maximize their flavor, add the spices and herbs towards the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from burning and becoming bitter.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as cilantro, parsley, or mint. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
