Black Bean Chicken Pilaf
We love meals that involve one pot and letting the heat do the rest. The aroma will have everyone wondering what’s cooking.

Directions
Step 1
To cook the garbanzo beans, soak in warm water for 2-3 hours, drain, add fresh water to cover by 3-4 inches then boil until tender (40-55 minutes).
Step 2
Rinse the basmati rice in cool water 3-4 times and then let soak for 30 minutes and up to two hours.
Step 3
Heat up ghee in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pan and pop the black cumin seeds. Add the garlic and red onion. Cook until golden in color.
Step 4
Add chicken, cinnamon, turmeric, cardamom, black pepper, chili & salt. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the drained rice, garbanzos, and water. Cover pot and let come to a boil. Then lower heat to low-medium and cook for 8-10 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed (do not stir).
Step 6
Remove from the heat and let the rice sit for 10 minutes.
Step 7
Gently stir as not to break up the rice and garnish with pistachios and cilantro.
Notes & Variations
- For a vegan version, double the number of garbanzos and omit the chicken.
- Choice to sub out the ghee for EVOO.
