Rice And Chickpea Salad Bowl Recipes

CHILE-CRISP CHICKPEA RICE BOWLS

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rice rest, covered, until ready to eat. (Alternatively, cook rice in a rice cooker or however you like to cook rice.)
• While the rice cooks, make the chickpeas: Add the chile crisp to a large (12-inch), nonstick skillet and heat over medium. (Make sure there is enough oil - not just solids - covering the bottom of the skillet. If your chile oil is mostly solids, add a little neutral oil to cover to skillet.)
• Add the chickpeas and a pinch of sugar, stir to coat in the oil, then spread into an even layer. Cook until the chickpeas start to sizzle, 2 to 3 minutes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp all over, 7 to 10 minutes more. If the pan looks dry at any point, add a drizzle of neutral oil (or more chile crisp if you want it really, really spicy).
• While the chickpeas and rice cook, stir together the tomatoes, celery, celery leaves, cilantro, soy sauce and a pinch of sugar in a medium bowl.
• When the rice and chickpeas are ready, divide the rice among plates or bowls. Pour some of the liquid from the bowl of tomatoes over the rice, then top with the tomatoes and celery, the chickpeas and more chile crisp, if desired.

STRAPATSADA WITH A CHICKPEA RICE SALAD

Steps:

• Shred tomatoes with a box grater (this should yield about 1 cup grated tomato).
• Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Stir in 1 cup grated tomato and the garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until tomatoes are broken down and most of the water is evaporated, about 7 minutes.
• Add eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to tomato mixture. Cook until eggs are set, gently stirring, about 3 minutes. They should be soft but not watery. Fold in feta and oregano. Keep warm.
• Stir together rice, chickpeas, olives, parsley, lemon zest, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together lemon juice and tahini in a small bowl and pour over rice mixture. Toss gently to coat. Serve egg mixture over rice mixture. If you like, sprinkle with additional tomato, oregano, and parsley.
