Instant Pot Herbed Chickpea Plov is a quick and filling meal made with basmati rice, chickpeas, and a mix of herbs and spices. It smells great and tastes great.
Ingredients: 1 cup basmati rice. 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 1 onion, finely chopped. 2 carrots, peeled and diced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon ground coriander. 1 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme. 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 1/2 cups vegetable broth. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: Put olive oil in the Instant Pot and press "Saute." When you add the chopped onion and garlic, cook them until they get soft. Add the rice, chickpeas, and carrots and stir them in. Cook for two more minutes. Spice it up with paprika, rosemary, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Combine well. Add the vegetable broth, salt and pepper to taste, and stir. Turn the Instant Pot on "Manual" and close the lid. Let it cook for 5 minutes at high pressure. After you're done, let the pressure drop naturally for 10 minutes and then quickly let go of the rest of the pressure. Using a fork, fluff up the plov and then add the fresh cilantro and parsley. Serve hot, and if you want, top with more herbs.
