Halal cart-style chickpeas & rice recipe

Adapt this recipe to make it vegetarian and in a rice cooker:

  • Ignore the chicken part (unless you want to make chicken)
  • In a rice cooker (at least 6c), in this order add:
    • Sliced butter (or non-dairy fat)
    • Turmeric and cumin
    • We also add Aleppo pepper and urfa biber for extra seasoning
    • Broth and rice (we use brown), salt and pepper
    • I add a can of chick peas
    • Cook like you would rice (just turn it on)
  • Halfway through cooking rice, so like 20 min in, add a bunch of shredded carrots -- either pre-shredded or shred your own (or don't?)
  • While that's cooking, cut up some lettuce and tomatoes, maybe olives if you have them
  • Make the white sauce as instructed in the recipe
    • One hack I use here is to just put a handful of parsley in a bowl, add the other ingredients on top, then use a hand blender on the whole thing -- no chopping!
  • Serve like a grain bowl/salad -- lettuce on bottom, some of the rice/chick pea mixture, olives and tomatoes, then white sauce
