Method
Cooking Rice
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the basmati rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from being sticky.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Cooking Vegetables
- 3
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Add Remaining Vegetables
Add the diced red bell pepper, zucchini, and drained chickpeas to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Seasoning and Serving

Add Spices

Serve the Dish
