Chickpeas And Rice
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.
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 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 and parmesan cheese.
