A complete one-dish meal for the basmati poke with avocado and chickpeas, delicate and suitable for a quick, healthy and nutritious lunch.
The poke is usually a dish of Hawaiian tradition, typically prepared with fish. Here you find it naturally with plant-based proteins, the dear and precious chickpeas.
Poke is accompanied by a source of carbohydrates, in this case basmati rice, a source of good fats—we add avocado, include vegetables such as arugula and carrots, and embellish with seeds and hazelnuts.
In this case I preferred to add a little soy sauce and instead combine good soy yogurt with lemon to bind everything.
I prepared a single portion of poke because at home everyone checks the fridge and makes their poke personalized, just like in restaurants with the build-your-own-bowl formula; everyone creates their own poke.
Idea? Invite friends one evening, and with many ingredients prepared in advance create amazing pokes.

Steps – Basmati poke with avocado and chickpeas
I preferred to prepare a single portion of poke because at home everyone checks the fridge and prepares a personalized poke.
In a nice bowl place the cooked basmati rice and the yogurt at the bottom. Add the avocado drizzled with lemon juice, the boiled chickpeas, the cooked carrots, the arugula, and the hazelnuts.
Make an emulsion with soy sauce, extra virgin olive oil and lemon. Sprinkle with chia seeds, pour the emulsion, mix and enjoy.
Tips and variations
The basmati poke with avocado and chickpeas will almost certainly not have leftovers; however you can store it in the fridge until the next day, taking care that the avocado does not brown. Variations? Whatever inspires you and what you have at home. What matters are the 3 macronutrients: carbs, proteins and healthy fats…and of course plenty of vegetables.
