Food blogging: Bruce’s chickpea and rice salad

Not sure what else to call it, but the recipe is here.

Delicious summer dish

I made only a couple of tweaks: after clarifying with Bruce via email that the word he was searching for in the directions was less “fiery” than “piquant” or “tangy,” I decided to throw in a few shakes of red pepper flakes, because why the hell not?  Plus, instead of regular garlic, I used roasted garlic paste, because I happened to have some on hand.

Very, very happy with this.  I like that it uses vinegar but not oil, so it’s flavorful without being greasy.  Crispy, crunchy, flavorful, peppery.  It will be very welcome in the summer months.

    Hey cool! Looks even better than I thought it would - had envisioned the oranges on the side but they look a lot better on the top!
