I put this here because I changed it from it's original version
This calls for regular white rice, but I use a 'fancy' rice blend as it really punches up the flavor! You can use white if you prefer.
Rice and beans Arab style
Ingredients:
1 1/4 cup Royal Blend brand rice -- the blend with the Texmati white, brown and wild and red rices.
olive oil
1 small onion - chopped
1 can chick peas - drained of liquid & rinsed
Boil the rice - uncovered - in about 4 cups of salted water for 15 minutes (this method of cooking rice makes the best rice. You won't see the water absorbed fully this way)
Drain and rinse the rice (use hot water to rinse!).
Put back into the pot and drizzle some olive oil (about 2 tablespoons) on the rice & mix well.
Cover and let steam with an EXTREMELY low flame for another 10 minutes.
While that is steaming, take a tablespoon of olive oil and cook the onions & chick peas until the onions are clear.
Toss them into the rice, mix well and enjoy!

I have no idea what you're talking about so here's a bunny with a pancake on it's head
