Spicy chickpea rice with Mediterranean vegetables

This is a very filling, pretty much store cupboard lunch. As always with the rice, it definitely requires tasting as you cook it, so that you get the texture you like. Mine was perfect for me, just past al dente but still individual grains of rice. For a better protein/fibre balance... this is delicious with any meat, especially lamb. If you prefer to keep it vegetarian, it's also excellent with feta.
