Tomato pilaf

Directions

Aside from cooking the rice according to the pack instructions, I didn't change anything in the method. Head over to https://naturallyella.com/tomato-rice-pilaf-with-chickpeas/ for the how to.

Naturally Ella is going away soon, so if the link above doesn't work, you can follow these directions:

1. Boil the brown rice with 1 cup of water in a small pot. Once it's boiled, reduce to a simmer, cover until the rice has absorbed the water and is tender, which should take about 45 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, core and cut the tomatoes; place them in a bowl.
3. Chop the walnuts on a chopping board, adding the basil, lemon zest, and grated garlic. Continue to chop the mixture together. Put them in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and enough olive oil to bring the mixture together.
4. When the rice is ready, transfer it to the bowl with the tomatoes along with the walnut-basil mixture and chickpeas. Add any cheese you might like and serve with some fresh black pepper.
