  • 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped (approximately 150g / 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (approximately 6g / 2 teaspoons)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, rinsed and drained (approximately 425g)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (approximately 185g)

  2. Add garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
