Red Rice With Chickpeas and Sauteed Onions -Recipe
@Cooknbake

Method:

Place all ingredients in a non stick pot on medium- high heat and let the water come to a boil:

Stir all ingredients until tomato paste dissolves
place lid on and let it simmer on medium - low heat for 15-20 minutes.
Check to see if the water has evaporated. If not- let cook for a few more minutes
(Note: Do not lift lid while cooking since the steam inside is what allows the rice to cook properly)

While the rice is cooking, in a small pan heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add sliced (or chopped) onions and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon. If desired, cook a little longer until edges just start to brown. Remove from heat:

Once the rice is ready- turn off heat, add the sauteed onions, gently mix together with wooden spoon and fluff. Let sit in pot a few more minutes with lid half open.

Serve and Enjoy!

*There are lots of varieties of rice to choose from (Jasmine, Persian, Basmati etc.). Each type will need a bit less or a little more water to cook with. The quantities here are for BASMATI RICE.

Options for additions: To give the rice an interesting twist and a BOOST OF FLAVORS:
Add in roasted raisins and roasted sliced almonds and mix in the rice!

Hope you liked!
