Title: Curried Chickpeas and Rice
Categories: None
Yield: 1 Servings

1 cn Chickpeas; (garbanzo beans)
1 Carrot; sliced
1 Potato; diced
1 md Onion
3 lg Cloves of garlic; (up to 4)
Curry to taste; (some like
-more than others)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 c Rice; uncooked
4 c Water
1/2 c White wine

Dice and fry onions in a medium-hot pot in some olive oil. Chop garlic
finely and add in. Add carrots, potato and chickpeas. Put in the water and
wine, and allow to boil. At this point, the curry, salt and pepper can be
added as well. Rinse rice, and add it to the boiling mixture. Let the whole
thing come to a boil for about 5 minutes. Cover and let simmer for about
half an hour until the rice and potato have reached your preferred
"doneness".This makes a great side dish or main dish. I've found that
serving it on a bed of lettuce adds a pretty touch and a nice refreshing
compliment to the rich taste and texture.

Serves: 6-8

Preparation time: Approx. 1 hr
