I think this is another big hit with myself and the family and I am sure that you will also love this easy to make little vegan chickpea and brown rice side dish or main dish because it only takes about 35-45 minutes to whip up. You can use one pot, so clean up is a snap (I love it when clean up is one or two dishes). It only has a handful of ingredients and once things are combined you wait, and the aroma that fills the kitchen is amazing!
Directions:
- In a dutch oven or large pot, heat up the coconut oil and salute the onions and garlic until translucent and garlic is soft.
- Add tomato paste dissolved in water, dill, pepper, cinnamon, chickpeas and rice.
- Stir well and cook on low for 5 minutes.
- Add vegetable broth and bring to a low boil.
- Lower heat to low, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Serve and add fresh lemon
