- Meanwhile, cut onion into medium dice. Drain chickpeas.
- Once rice is cooked, use the fine mesh strainer to drain and set aside. Rinse the pot and place back on the stove. Over medium-high heat, add three Tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add diced onion, spice blend, and salt. Cook onion until soft, 5-7 minutes.
