Tips:

  • Use a good quality rice. A medium-grain rice like Valencia or bomba is a good choice, as it will absorb the flavors of the broth and chickpeas well.
  • Soak the chickpeas overnight before cooking. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • Use a flavorful broth. A vegetable broth or chicken broth is a good option. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Add plenty of vegetables. This will add flavor and nutrition to the dish. Some good vegetables to use include onions, garlic, carrots, celery, and bell peppers.
  • Season the dish well. A good combination of spices includes cumin, paprika, and saffron. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Cook the rice and chickpeas until they are tender. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
  • Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro.
