Hearty chickpea rice pilaf where boiled chickpeas meet rice cooked grain by grain with butter. A beloved classic of restaurants, this pilaf is served alongside chicken or meat, or on its own as a main dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the rice

5 min

Rinse the rice in lukewarm water until the water runs clear, then drain. This step removes the starch and keeps the rice grains separate.

2

Sauté

5 min

Melt the butter in a pot and add the boiled chickpeas and drained rice. Sauté for a few minutes until the grains are coated in butter and turn translucent.

3

Add the water and cook

15 min

Add the hot water and salt and stir; once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook until the liquid is absorbed.

4

Let it steep

10 min

Turn off the heat, cover the lid with a clean cloth, and let it steam for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Reminder

Important: Getting fluffy, separate rice grains depends on washing and letting the rice steep. Contains gluten and dairy. If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight and boil; using pre-cooked chickpeas shortens the time. Keeps in the fridge for a few days; sprinkle with water and reheat.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

The ratio of rice to water is one measure of rice to one and a half measures of hot water. Toasting the chickpeas together with the rice lets their flavors meld.

Ölçüleri gram cinsinden verseniz daha net olur, bardak ölçüsü bende farklı çıktı. Belirtilen sürede biraz erken kızardı, benimkinde 5 dakika kısalttım.

Şekersiz versiyonu için tatlandırıcı denedim, tadı çok değişmedi.
