Servings: persons

80 g frozen broccoli florets
80 g carrots, chopped
80 g canned tomatoes
80 g frozen peas
90 g chickpeas, drained
2 shallots, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
125 g long grain rice
300 ml chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon mild paprika
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 saffron threads
2 tablespoons olive oil

1
Rinse the drained chickpeas in a colander and pat dry with a paper towel. Remove the skins. Dissolve the saffron threads in the chicken stock. Then, heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the garlic and shallots. Cook for about 3 minutes.
2
Add the carrots, chickpeas and paprika powder and stir. Cook until the shallots have slightly browned. Afterwards, add the rice and chicken stock. Cover the pan with its lid and cook on low heat for about 13 minutes. Don't forget to stir the rice sometimes, to prevent sticking and burning!
3
Add the broccoli and tomatoes quickly, and let it cook for 4 more minutes. Don't get scared if almost all the liquid seems evaporated.
4
At last, add the frozen peas, black pepper and salt and cook for 2 minutes. Finish to taste if necessary.
