Background

This Spinach and chickpeas pilaf can be served as a side dish in an Indian or Middle-Eastern menu, or as a main vegan meal. It’s easy to make, little bit spiced and yummy. It‘s nice cold too - so ideal for picnics, parties or your lunch box.

Ingredients

300g (brown) Basmati rice
1 Tbsp of olive oil
1 small onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander seed
1 can chickpeas (400g)
350 ml vegetable stock
100g baby spinach
50g raisins

Instructions

Thinly slice the onion.
Heat the oil in a large saucepan and gently sauté the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, spices, a little salt and stir for 1-2 minutes.
Add the rice, stir for a minute, then pour over the hot vegetable stock.
Bring to the boil, cover and cook for 25-30 minutes at low temperature. Remove the lid. If the stock has absorbed completely, mix in the raisins and spinach - if not, cook for a few more minutes until it has, then add the raisins and spinach.
Steam for 2- 3 minutes under cover – when the spinach has wilted, season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
