This came from Blandsville - which is cool but somewhat unappetising. I suggest adding a diced red / yellow pepper.

This is awesome! I added some curry powder because I wanted something spicy.

I just finishe'd trying this out. Very tasty. I didn't add any pepper or herbs but I am one of those people who don't need lots of spices. I cooked the olive oil, lemon juice,onions and chick peas seperately for about 5 minutes before adding it to the rice.

The directions look as if you don't cook the beans. Wouldnt it be better to cook the beans with the water in the can and with listed ingredients of the lemon juice and spices to soften them and enrich the flavor?
