Instructions
1
Start by cooking the rice. To do this, put a tablespoon of olive oil into a pan and heat. Then add a sliced clove of garlic. When the garlic starts to color, add the rice. Stir for a couple of minutes and then add the water and a teaspoon of salt. Cook over high heat for 7 minutes, then reduce and simmer for 8 more minutes. If the rice has absorbed all the water in this time but is still hard, add a little more water. Let stand for a short while, covered with a lid.
2
Chop half an onion and fry in a skillet with olive oil over medium heat, stirring often. After 5 minutes, add the chickpeas (washed and drained), cumin, and salt, and cook over medium-low heat for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until colored.
3
Put several spoons of rice into a bowl, together with the sautéed chickpeas and onions, the avocado cut into slices, and, if you have any and feel like it, a couple of spoons of dried blueberries (this last step is optional).
Tips & Tricks
Why not add a few pinches of turmeric to the chickpeas? Not only will it give them a delicious flavor, but it will also turn them a lovely color.
As we explain in the recipe, you can also add a handful of dried blueberries, or raisins.
You can also chop up a couple of mint leaves to give a tasty refreshing flavor to the dish.
