Ingredients
















Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375*F/190*C. Wrap the beets in foil and place in the oven Cook for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Insert an skewer in, and if it goes in and comes out easily, remove from the oven and allow to cool.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over high heat. Add the oil and reduce the heat to medium high. Add in the onion and sautรฉ for 4 minutes, or until glistening. Add in the ginger, garlic, turmeric, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick. Sautรฉ for another one minute. Add in the rice and stir all together.

Step 3

Pour in the stock or water, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover and allow to cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Quickly add in the chickpeas and peas and cover. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, remove the beets from the foil. Using a small knife, peel off the skin. It should slip off easily. Cut into small dice.

Step 6

Once the rice is rested, add in the beets and the herbs. Season generously with salt and pepper. Gently fold everything together. Serve warm

Note from the chef

This is a hearty pilau you could even serve as a vegetarian meal with a fresh side salad.
