Chickpea Pilaf
Serves 4-5
The humble chickpea pilaf has a very special place in Ottoman folklore. At the Topkapi palace, in the time of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror (he captured Constantinople in 1453), a little gold ball in the shape of a chickpea would be hidden in the rice, creating excitement among the guests, each hoping to find it on their plate. I don’t hide a gold ball in my rice, however we do relish this beautifully simple dish with my golden Chicken Tajine with Preserved Lemons. Enjoy!
