This dish combines cooked brown rice with chickpeas and a blend of herbs and spices for a satisfying meal. The 'spicy' in the name refers to the depth of flavour from seasonings like cumin, turmeric, basil and marjoram, not heat. It's a quick recipe that comes together in one skillet. You can use pre-cooked rice, and white rice is a suitable alternative if you prefer.

Ingredients

1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups long grain brown rice, cooked
1 (16 ounce) can chickpeas, drained
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (fresh)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Method

Cook the chopped onion and minced garlic in olive oil within a large skillet, stirring often, until they become tender.
Add the cooked rice along with all the other ingredients to the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet, lower the heat, and let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, giving it an occasional stir.
