Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 oz sliced prosciutto, roughly chopped
1/4 cup 1/4-inch- diced carrot
1/4 cup 1/4-inch- diced red and green bell peppers, seeded and membrane removed
1 small onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup orzo pasta
1 cup basmati rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 cup canned garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 bay leaf
kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 cup sliced scallions
2 tbsp torn fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp torn fresh mint leaves

Directions:

Bring the oil to medium-high heat in a medium, heavy-bottomed pot with a tightly fitting lid. Add the prosciutto and crisp until it is lightly golden and the fat renders, about 1 minute. Add the carrots, peppers and onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the orzo and rice. Toast until the grains are all evenly coated with oil, about 3 minutes.
Pour the broth and lemon juice into the same pot. Bring to a boil. Add the garbanzos and bay leaf and stir to combine. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the orzo and rice are tender. Remove from the heat once the liquid is fully absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
Let the pilaf stand, covered, for 5 full minutes. Fluff with two forks, remove the bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the scallions and serve garnished with the basil and mint leaves.
