Description

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Long Grain Brown Rice
• 2 Cups Water, for cooking
• 1½ Cups Cooked Chickpeas
• 2 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• ¼ Cup Barbecue Sauce
• ½ Tsp Smoked Paprika
• ½ Tsp Chili Powder

Directions

• Start by cooking the brown rice. Bring the rice and water to a boil together, then reduce to a simmer for about a half hour, or until all rice is absorbed.
• Note - different types of rice can cook at different rates, so when in doubt, just cook the rice based on the packages instructions.
• When done, fluff with a fork an set aside.
• While the rice is cooking, make the chickpeas. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine chickpeas, olive oil, barbecue sauce (just use your favorite kind), and spices, and mix until the chickpeas are evenly coated.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread chickpeas out as evenly as possible.
• Bake chickpeas in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
• When done, remove from oven and set aside.
• In a blender, combine hummus (any kind will do - I used chipotle hummus), olive oil, and lime juice. Blend until everything is evenly mixed.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary - add salt or pepper, etc.
• In bowls, portion out rice, chickpeas, baby kale / greens, and any other toppings you like. Top with as much hummus vinaigrette as you like, then serve!
• Enjoy!
