Brussels Sprouts Fried Chickpea Rice
Watch out! This fried Banza chickpea rice dish is seriously addictive. Make sure the pan to fry the egg is extremely hot, so the whites immediately bubble after coming into contact with the pan. After serving, slice your egg open early into the meal so the yolk has a chance to act as a rich sauce and mingle with all the other ingredients.
