I love basmati’s delicate fragrant grains, making this an elegant baked rice dish. It’s great for popping down on the table and letting everyone dig in.
Cook’s Tip
This is a plant-based dish, but you could scatter some cubes of feta or halloumi over the top halfway through cooking to jazz it up if it suits your dietary needs.
Pulse Swap
Replace the chickpeas with butter beans or black beans.
