Chick Peas and Delicata Squash with Rice

January 18, 2022 by towers

Good winter meal–warming and filling.  This type of squash compliments the chick peas very nicely so do your best to find a delicata.  Our local Earthfare store carries them.

Just serve with a salad for an easy meal.

 

Serves 2-4

Rice:

1 cup brown basmati rice, rinsed well and drained

1 and 1/2 cups water,

1/2 tsp. sea salt

 

Vegetables:

4 Tbsp. ghee

1 cup chopped yellow onion2 tsp. ground cumin

1 and 1/2 cups finely chopped delicata squash (do not peel the squash–just wash well, cut in half and remove the seeds and then cut each half lengthwise again and cut crosswise in 1/4 inch pieces)

2 cups COOKED chick peas

2 Tbsp. organic tamari

2 Tbsp. nutritional yeast flakes

1 cup water

sea salt and pepper to taste

cayenne to taste, optional

 

Start the rice first.  Place rinsed and drained rice in a sauce pan and add water and salt.  Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat so the mixture just simmers.  Cover with a lid.  Do not remove the lid until 30 minutes of simmering and if all the water is absorbed, remove from heat. If some water remains, cover again and simmer another 5-10 minutes until all the water is absorbed. Keep covered but set aside until vegetables are ready.

Melt the ghee in a large skillet.  Add the onions and stir over medium heat for a few minutes.  Add the cumin and stir again.  Add the squash and stir well and cook for a few minutes more before adding water and tamari.  Once the mixture starts to simmer reduce to low heat and cover with a lid for 10 minutes.  Once squash is cooked through add chick peas and nutritional yeast and stir well.  Bring to a simmer again and remove from heat.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve in bowls over rice immediately.
