Rice with chick peas and tomatoes

Thursday, April 21, 2011

We had this for lunch yesterday and JP loved it!  So here it is!  It is so easy to make, especially if you se canned chick peas.  I have so much corriander in the garden and this is a great way to use it up.

Cooked short grain brown rice
1 can of chick peas (if using dried, soak 350g over night and cook as usual)
2 large onions-finely chopped
6 tbsp olive oil4 cloves garlic, crushed
450 gr fresh tomatoes, skinned and sliced
3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
2 tbsp lemon juice

Fry the onion in the olive oil in a large sauce pan, until soft-about 10 mins.  Add the garlic, chick peas and tomatoes and cook for a further few mins until they are nice and hot.  Use a fork and lightly mash the chick peas, then stir in the coked rice, coriander and lemon juice,  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
