Spiced orange and almond pilaf


1 tblsp olive oil
1 large finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
3 cups vegetable stock (or chicken stock)
400 g can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
80 grams baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup currants
1/3 cup flaked almonds (toasted)


Heat oil in a medium saucepan on high. Saute onion for 5-6 minutes until golden. Stir in spices, cooking for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Mix in rice, stirring for 1-2 minutes until well coated in spice. Add stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer covered, for 12-15 minutes until stock is absorbed. Finely grate the skin of the orange before removing the pith and segmenting flesh. Use a sharp knife to cut between the membranes to loosen orange segments.

Remove from heat. Stir through all remaining ingredients. Serve with sprinkled almonds.
