Wacky Wild Rice
Labels: artichoke hearts, chickpeas, fast healthy meals, garbanzo beans, Mediterrenean cuisine, sundried tomatoes, vindaloo veggies with wild rice 0 commentsSomething about this combination of flavors that I cannot get enough of. Call me wacky, call me Mediterranean, but try this easy-to-make dish before you decide!
Recipe:
3 cups water or vegetable broth
8oz wild rice
1 cup sundried tomatoes, soaked and chopped
1 can garbanzo beans
1 can artichoke hearts in water, chopped OR frozen artichoke hearts thawed
Preparation:
Soak sundried tomatoes until soft (may take several hours...but well-worth the wait)
Boil water or broth in medium pot
Add rice
Let simmer on low-medium heat until rice is soft and water/broth is absorbed (usually about 45-50 min)
Let rice sit for 10-15 minutes to absorb remaining liquid and to cool
Chop tomatoes
Rinse garbanzo beans very well
Rinse canned artichokes really well and chop them (or take them out from the thawed freezer bag)
Combine all ingredients and enjoy!
