Vegetarian Lemon Rice With Artichokes and Chickpeas image

This recipe was inspired by RecipeZaar recipe #112256 and RecipeZaar recipe #103529. I think that it's a nice vegetarian hybrid between the two.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium onions or 1 large onion
1 medium red bell peppers or 1 large red bell pepper
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 cups brown basmati rice (not instant) or 2 cups rice, of your choice (not instant)
1 lemons, juice of or 2 lemons, juice of
3 cups vegetable broth or 3 cups chicken broth, if you prefer
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained (cut into quarters if they don't come that way)
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese (if you prefer)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in very large pan with a lid.
  • Add rice and sauté until golden brown.
  • Add onions and red bell pepper and sauté until soft and onions are translucent.
  • A couple of minutes before onions and red pepper are soft, add the garlic (I don't know about you, but I do this to prevent the garlic from burning).
  • Stir in broth, lemon juice, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
  • Cover and reduce heat; simmer for 40 minutes or until rice is tender.
  • Remove from heat; stir in artichokes and chickpeas.
  • Cover for about 5 minutes to make sure they get warm.
  • When serving, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

I didn't have any artichokes on hand, so I used hearts of palm instead. They worked great!

I found the rice to be a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover rice. I had some leftover brown rice and it worked perfectly.

I'm not usually a fan of artichokes, but they were delicious in this dish. The lemon flavor was also very refreshing.

This lemon rice dish was fantastic! The flavors of the artichokes, chickpeas, and lemon were perfectly balanced. I will definitely be making this again.
