Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup quick cooking brown rice
  • 2 cups skim milk
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 broccoli crowns cut into small florets
  • 2 cups chickpeas (garbanzo beans) rinsed and drained,
  • 1 cup grated cheese
Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and saute 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and saute 30 seconds more.

  2. Add the rice to the pan and toast for 1-2 minutes. Add the milk, broth and salt and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the rice has about 5-8 minutes left of cooking time.
  3. Remove the lid and stir in the broccoli and chickpeas. Cover and continue to cook for about 5 minutes more.
