I love to glam up simple ingredients like chickpeas, rice, and cabbage with spices and a delicious sauce. This chickpeas and rice dinner is made with simple ingredients and is cooked to completion in about 40 minutes, both on the stove and in the oven. Jasmine rice, canned chickpeas, onions, garlic, vegetable stock and spices form a pilaf-like base for addictively crispy roasted pieces of cabbage. A finishing touch of sweet mustard dressing and toasted almonds makes this a satisfying vegan dinner.

I could eat the entire tray of roasted cabbage in this recipe by myself. It’s based off of the high heat roasting treatment from this cabbage roll skillet recipe. One of the reviews on that recipe refers to “cabbage crispies,” which is a perfect descriptor! The spice blend that you use on the cabbage and rice/chickpeas mixture is the go-to blend in our home kitchen—savory, tangy, and a bit herbaceous. I like to have a big batch on hand.

We pile up the crispy cabbage on a fluffy, well-seasoned rice and chickpeas mixture. I use onion, spices, and garlic to flavour the jasmine rice and canned chickpea combo. It’s simple to throw together and only takes about 25 minutes to simmer on the stove—similar to my one-pot rice and veggies with dilly tahini.

How this vegan rice and chickpeas dinner comes together:

  • Stir up the spice blend
  • Roast the chopped cabbage with the spice blend, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • While the cabbage is roasting, make the rice and chickpeas mixture in a deep skillet.
  • While you’re waiting for both components to finish, shake up the sweet mustard dressing in a jar.
  • Combine everything and enjoy!

The sweet mustard dressing is a beautiful compliment. There’s just something about cabbage and mustard together! The sweetness in the dressing plays off of the caramelized cabbage edges as well. I truly can’t do a rice-based meal without some type of sauce/saucy mixture! This one is taken directly from my kale cabbage salad recipe. We meal prep this dressing often, and that’s how I came up with this combination that I’m sharing today.

Hope you love this extremely glam and luxurious rice, chickpeas, and cabbage : )
