Courgette and chickpea rice
You can serve this courgette and chickpea rice as a main vegan meal or as a side dish – it goes particularly well with grilled chicken, lamb and fish. It’s not only an easy, yummy, zesty recipe, but perfect for using up leftover rice (which has higher resistant starch content, so it’s more healthy).
