CHICKPEAS AND RICE



Chickpeas and Rice image

This is a recipe that I got from a vegetarian cookbook and made a few modifications to. We have fallen for this dish and now make it a few times a month. My two year old also loves it. We tried it out on some non-vegetarians and they all loved it.

RICE WITH CHICK PEAS

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.
