I feel like all I am doing in lockdown is cooking and eating. At least I am getting some photos out of it for the blog.
I’ve cooked my version of chickpea pilaf for a little while now. I usually have it at the weekend when I fancy something a bit spicy. This is how I make it. This chickpea and spinach pilaf dish serves about four, give or take how hungry you are! It’s vegetarian but can be tailored towards vegans too by substituting the natural yoghurt for a vegan alternative.
Anyway, follow the below recipe to get something that looks like this (although I’m sure yours will be much better).
You need to use a large pan or a wok because most of the ingredients are cooked together and it gets a bit messy otherwise!
I usually serve the chickpea and spinach pilaf over rice and a dollop of natural yoghurt on the side. The yoghurt tempers the heat of the curry and it’s not a very “saucy” dish, so it adds a little more sauce and the sharp contrast is quite refreshing!
I hope you enjoyed my simple pilaf recipe! Let me know if you try it :).
Are you finding yourself cooking more often now we are all social distancing? What are you doing to keep yourself busy?
