Ingredients
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 2 cups low sodium vegetable stock
  • 1 cup sweetcorn
  • 1 cup cooked chickpeas
  • juice and zest of 1 lime (plus extra lime wedges for garnish)
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped coriander
  • salt and pepper to taste
Method
  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion, and saute onions for a couple of minutes until the begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more
  2. Add the turmeric, oregano, and rice, and give everything a good stir, coating the rice grains in the oil and spices
  3. Add the stock, and pop on the pot lid and bring the pot to a simmer. Cook gently until the rice is tender but still retaining a little bite, and most of the liquid is absorbed (around 30-35 minutes). If at any point the pot looks a little dry, add a splash more stock or water
  4. Stir in the sweetcorn, chickpeas, lime juice and zest, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and serve!
