Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup carrots sliced or minced
  • 1 cup celery thinly sliced
  • 1 onion diced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp poultry seasoning or all purpose seasoning of choice
  • 1-2 sprigs dried thyme
  • 1-2 sprigs rosemary chopped finely
  • 2-3 sage leaves finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2/3 cup basmati rice
  • 5 cups vegetable broth more as needed (you can also use vegan chicken broth)
  • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas roughly 1 can, rinsed and drained
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium heat, sauté carrots, celery and onion with oil or a splash of veggie broth. Cook down for roughly 2 minutes to lightly soften, then add garlic, seasoning, fresh herbs and bay leaf. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Add dry basmati rice to the pot and sauté for a few minutes to gently toast, then add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover the pot halfway and let cook for 15-20 minutes, or until carrots are tender and rice is soft.
  • Add chickpeas, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve with fresh parsley to garnish if desired.
