Ingredients
Instructions
Drain and pat the chickpeas dry, then season them well.
Grill or pan-sear the chickpeas over medium-high heat until they turn slightly crisp, about 9 minutes.
Add the diced red onion and cucumber and cook until just softened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the cumin and garlic, letting the spices bloom for 3 minutes.
Cook the basmati rice separately and fluff with a fork.
Let the chickpea mixture simmer gently for about 7 minutes so the flavors settle.
Taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve warm over the basmati rice.
