Nutritional values

Whole grain products such as brown rice are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber and should therefore be a regular part of the diet. Chickpeas are a wonderful source of vegetable protein and, together with lamb, provide an optimal protein supply.

When it has to go fast: The dish also tastes great with wholemeal couscous!

Peel and finely dice the onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Sauté onion for 2 minutes over medium heat. Add rice and sauté for 2 minutes. Add broth and cook for about 15 minutes over low heat. In the meantime, chop apricots.
