Ingredients:

Serving

1 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
32 oz vegetable stock
4 cups chick peas
4 cups black beans
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (1 bunch)
1 salt to taste
1 ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in garlic, and cook 1 minute.
Stir in rice, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper.
Cook and stir 5 minutes, then pour in vegetable stock.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30+ minutes or until liquid is absorbed. The original recipe called for 20 minutes but I have found that it takes quite a bit longer.
Drain and rinse Chick Peas and black beans.
Gently mix garbanzo beans, black beans, cilantro into the cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper.
