This rice dish is full of flavor and spices. It also has garbanzo beans cooked in with the rice which makes for a lovely texture and flavor. Garbanzo beans or chick peas are literally translated into Arabic as Hummus. So hummus is the name in Arabic for these beans.
Ingredients.
1 can Garbanzo beans
1 onion chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. allspice
salt to taste
4 Cups Basmati rice
9 cups water
Directions
Use a large pan and saute onion and garlic in olive oil.
Open garbanzo beans, drain, put beans in with onions and garlic, continue to saute, add spices. Add water and bring to a boil. Rinse Basmati rice according to package directions. Put rice into water and stir. Let this boil for 5 minutes, then cover and turn heat to medium, cook for 10 minutes, turn to low and cook an additional 10 minutes. Remove from heat and fluff rice so it doesn’t stick.
Rice is usually eaten with a spoon of plain yogurt on top and then mixed in.

Please don’t tell me it has to be eaten with a spoon of plain yogurt! It looks a bit like East Indian food…

This sounds lovely! My husband has an irrational dislike of garbanzos–I’m going to try it with an acceptable bean from the ‘Mark list’ and see what happens! Thanks for an inspiring recipe…

I am glad you like it, so much of middle eastern food has lots of spices, not hot but spices. I had never used spices growing up so it was a big change for me! thanks Van
