Wild Rice, Cabbage, and Chickpea Pilaf

This is one of my favorite winter recipes! One reason being because I LOVE cabbage more than many things in life. Another reason is because this recipe is so easy and comes together quickly. I adapted this recipe from the one found in Forks Over Knives - the Cookbook. 

Serves 4

1/2 C wild rice (instant)

1 medium onion, diced small

1 medium carrot, julienned

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 C green cabbage, chopped

1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

Olive oil

Salt + Pepper

Cook rice according to directions. 

In a large skillet, sauté cabbage, onion, carrot, and garlic in a splash of olive oil until cabbage is tender and becoming translucent. 

Add chickpeas and cooked rice. 

Mix well and heat thoroughly. 

Season with salt and pepper, and serve!
