Rez b Hommos

Ingredients:

- 1 cup Basmati rice, rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or use cooked chickpeas)
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups vegetable broth or water
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Toasted pine nuts (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

Sauté Onion:
- In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.

Add Spices:
- Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, and cinnamon to the sautéed onions. Stir well to coat the onions with the spices.

Add Rice and Chickpeas:
- Drain the soaked rice and add it to the pot along with the chickpeas. Stir for a couple of minutes to allow the rice to absorb the flavors.

Season and Cook:
- Season with salt and black pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth or water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Fluff the Rice:
- Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.

Garnish:
- Garnish the Rez b Hommos with chopped fresh parsley and toasted pine nuts (if using).
