Rice With Chickpeas Recipes

Steps:

• Cook water, rice, thyme, and bay leaf and set aside.
• Heat olive oil and half of the butter in a skillet and then add chickpeas.
• When chickpeas start to lightly brown (about 5 mins) add parsley and the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Add oregano, basil, salt, and pepper and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and mix rice and chickpeas together until rice is a golden color.
• Mix in remaining butter (cubed) and Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Cover chickpeas with water and simmer 10-15 minutes or until just tender.
• Meanwhile, prepare the rice. In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil. Add garlic and fry 2 minutes. Stir in rice and stir-fry 3 to 4 minutes, then stir in 1-1/4 cups stock or water. Simmer 10 minutes, then add another 1-1/4 cups stock or water. Continue cooking 10 to 12 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Drain chickpeas. In a skillet, pour enough oil to just cover the bottom. Add chickpeas and fry, stirring frequently, until golden-brown. Remove chick peas with slotted spoon and stir into rice.
• Serve topped with tomato sauce.

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.

Steps:

• Cook the basmati rice according to the package instructions.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions are dark brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the vegetable stock and stir to scrape up all the brown bits in the pan. Add the chickpeas, coconut milk, honey and a squirt of sriracha. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Warm the naan in the microwave. Serve the curry over the rice with the warmed naan. Garnish with the cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute. Stir in rice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir 5 minutes, then pour in chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes.
• Place the turkey in a skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown.
• Gently mix cooked turkey, garbanzo beans, black beans, cilantro, parsley, and pine nuts into the cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the red onions, peppers and courgettes in a large roasting tin, toss in 2 tbsp oil and season. (You may need to do this in 2 tins.) Pop in the oven and cook for 25 mins until the veg is tender and beginning to turn golden.
• Meanwhile, cook the rice following pack instructions. Whizz together the parsley, cashew nuts, remaining oil, the garlic and seasoning to make a pesto. Stir the chickpeas and halloumi into the roasted veg and cook for 10 mins more. Fork the parsley pesto through the rice, spoon over the veg and serve.

Steps:

• Melt half the butter in a frying pan with a lid. Fry the shallot for a couple of minutes, then add the chicken and carrot. Fry the veg until starting to brown, then add the cinnamon and lemon, and season well. Stir in the rice and raisins, then add the stock and bring to a simmer.
• Scatter the chickpeas on top, then cover with the lid. Cook for 15 mins over a low heat until the rice has absorbed all the stock - if the rice is still firm, add 50ml water. Stand for 5 mins, then fluff up the rice. Dot over the remaining butter, then serve.
