Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then soak it for 15 minutes.
  2. Fry the sliced onion in 2 tbsp of oil until golden, about 8 minutes.
  3. Add the drained rice, chickpeas, cumin, salt and 550 ml of boiling water. Cover and simmer over low heat for 18 minutes, without stirring.
  4. While it cooks, cut the bread into pieces and fry them in the remaining oil until crispy.
  5. Brown the pine nuts in the butter over low heat.
  6. Mix the yoghurt with the crushed garlic and a pinch of salt.
  7. In a dish, spread the fried bread, then the chickpea rice. Top with the garlic yoghurt and finish with the buttered pine nuts.

Variations and tips

Version without bread. Leave out the fried bread and serve the rice directly with the yoghurt and pine nuts.
