Mediterranean Chickpea Rice Stir
This is a fabulous filling and easy rice dish, that’s not even rice at all! It goes so well with chicken, fish, seafood or tofu. Or actually just about anything else too!
The chickpea rice is from Mr Organic. You can get it here and see my review here. There are other types, but I think the chickpea one works really well with these Mediterranean Herbs, also known as Herbes de Provence.
