I like to glam up easy elements like chickpeas, rice, and cabbage with spices and a scrumptious sauce. This chickpeas and rice dinner is made with easy elements and is cooked to completion in about 40 minutes, each on the range and within the oven. Jasmine rice, canned chickpeas, onions, garlic, vegetable inventory and spices kind a pilaf-like base for addictively crispy roasted items of cabbage. A crowning glory of candy mustard dressing and toasted almonds makes this a satisfying vegan dinner.
I may eat your entire tray of roasted cabbage on this recipe on my own. It’s based mostly off of the excessive warmth roasting remedy from this cabbage roll skillet recipe. One of many critiques on that recipe refers to “cabbage crispies,” which is an ideal descriptor! The spice mix that you simply use on the cabbage and rice/chickpeas combination is the go-to mix in our dwelling kitchen—savory, tangy, and a bit herbaceous. I wish to have a giant batch readily available.
We pile up the crispy cabbage on a fluffy, well-seasoned rice and chickpeas combination. I take advantage of onion, spices, and garlic to flavour the jasmine rice and canned chickpea combo. It’s easy to throw collectively and solely takes about 25 minutes to simmer on the range—much like my one-pot rice and veggies with dilly tahini.
How this vegan rice and chickpeas dinner comes collectively:
- Fire up the spice mix
- Roast the chopped cabbage with the spice mix, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Whereas the cabbage is roasting, make the rice and chickpeas combination in a deep skillet.
- When you’re ready for each parts to complete, shake up the candy mustard dressing in a jar.
- Mix every part and revel in!
The candy mustard dressing is a gorgeous praise. There’s simply one thing about cabbage and mustard collectively! The sweetness within the dressing performs off of the caramelized cabbage edges as nicely. I really can’t do a rice-based meal with out some kind of sauce/saucy combination! This one is taken immediately from my kale cabbage salad recipe. We meal prep this dressing typically, and that’s how I got here up with this mix that I’m sharing in the present day.
Hope you like this extraordinarily glam and opulent rice, chickpeas, and cabbage : )
