Preparation

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and onion, and saute onions for a couple of minutes until the begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook for a minute more.

Add the turmeric, oregano, and rice, and give everything a good stir, coating the rice grains in the oil and spices.

Add the stock, and pop on the pot lid and bring the pot to a simmer. Cook gently until the rice is tender but still retaining a little bite, and most of the liquid is absorbed (around 30-35 minutes). If at any point the pot looks a little dry, add a splash more stock or water.

Stir in the sweetcorn, chickpeas, lime juice, zest, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and serve!
