Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a lidded casserole dish. Add the onions and cook for 8 mins, until soft. Tip in the carrots, harissa and rice and stir for a couple of mins. Pour over the stock, bring to the boil, then cover with the lid and simmer for 10 mins.

  • step 2

    Fork through the chickpeas and cook gently for 3-5 mins more, until the grains of rice are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Season, turn off the heat, cover and leave to sit for a few mins.

  • step 3

    Sprinkle the almonds over the rice mixture and serve with a dollop of yogurt.

tip

If you have left over chicken from a roast, shred and add five minutes before serving.

Tasty, healthy, generous portions, this was a hit with the family.

This is a regular meal in our household, not sure why people say it’s tasteless, sometimes it’s quite spicy for us (maybe it depends on your harissa) Though it does need a generous sprinkling of salt. We serve with flatbreads, mango chutney and yoghurt (I prefer Mayo) I also like it cold the next…

question

Can this be frozen?

Hello, you can freeze pilaf for up to 3 months. You need to be a bit careful with freezing rice dishes. Cool the pilaf as quickly as possible and freeze in portions as soon as it is cool. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly to serve. Hope that helps. Best wishes BBC Good Food Team

Awful! I'm quite a competent home cook and can honestly say this was horrible. Lacking in flavours. The only thing I enjoyed was the toasted almonds that I toasted to try add flavour.
