How to make rice with chickpeas and toasted tagliatelle
Begin with washing the chickpeas and soak them in cold water for 6-12 hours. Boil them separately for about 1 hour until tender. Of course, if you are in a hurry, you can always use canned chickpeas and simply drain and wash the chickpeas under cold water.
In a frying pan, cook coriander and cumin seeds, then crush them using a grinding mortar.
In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the tagliatelle and cook, stirring, until they turn brown. Add water, red pepper, salt, pepper, and seasonings, then simmer until the pasta is done and the water has evaporated.
Meanwhile, boil rice in vegetable stock. Once done, combine the drained chickpeas and rice with the tagliatelle. Add fresh lovage, stir well, and serve alongside a fresh salad.
The combination is really interesting and flavorful so hope you will give it a try and enjoy it as we did. If you do, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. I would love to see how it turns out for you.
