2 cups uncooked brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)

In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in brown rice and return to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan or Dutch-oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 5 minutes.

Stir 2 cups cooked rice (reserve remaining rice for another use) and chickpeas into broth; return to a boil.
