Instructions
Heat 3 Tbsp of olive oil in a large saucepan. Add finely chopped onion, grated garlic, grated ginger and turmeric. Fry gently for a couple of minutes.
Add rice. Mix until coated in oil all over. Add vegetable stock, coconut milk and finely chopped kale. Stir until all ingredients are mixed together. Cover and cook under medium heat for 10-15mins until rice is cooked. Stir from time to time so that the rice does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
In the meantime heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Add drained chickpeas and, depending on how spicy you would like the chickpeas to be, 1 to 2 tsp of harissa paste. Toss together until the chickpeas are coated all over. Fry under medium heat for 10 mins or so until the chickpeas are golden.
When the rice is done, season with lemon juice, salt & pepper.
Serve rice straightaway topped with chickpeas, (dairy-free) cream or yoghurt as well as fresh mint and coriander.
