Black Rice with Chickpeas and Zucchini

Black Rice with Chickpeas and Zucchini, is a very tasty and at the same time light dish, a unique dish that can be served either cold or warm.
I love black rice because it stays perfectly al dente and well-separated, it is also characterized by a more intense flavor and aroma, a rice that is untreated and hence rich in many properties and fibers.

The recipe is very simple, after boiling the rice, add the zucchini and chickpeas, sauté everything and our dish is ready.

But now let’s go to the kitchen and I’ll show you how to prepare Black Rice with Chickpeas and Zucchini
