Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Rinse the chickpeas under cold water, then soak them in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. This will help them cook evenly.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the onion and garlic. Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. Prepare the vegetable broth.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Chickpeas and Rice

    Stir in the drained chickpeas and rice, mixing well with the onion and garlic.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices

    Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Cook the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice and chickpeas are tender.

  5. 7

    Add Spinach and Lemon Juice

    Once the rice and chickpeas are cooked, stir in the spinach and lemon juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Serving

  1. 8
