Method

Step 1 of 3

Preheat the slow cooker if necessary; see the manufacturer's instructions. Heat the oil in a large skillet, add the onion and fry, stirring, for 5 minutes or until softened and just beginning to turn golden.

Step 2 of 3

Stir in the garlic, ginger, and ground spices and cook for 1 minute. Add the rice, chickpeas, dates, stock, and a little salt and pepper and bring to a boil, stirring. Pour into the slow cooker pot, cover with the lid, and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until the rice is tender and almost all the stock has been absorbed.

Step 3 of 3

Meanwhile, make the onion garnish. Heat the oil in a skillet, add the sliced onion and fry over a medium heat, stirring, until crisp and golden. Stir the pilaf, spoon into bowls, and top with a spoonful of yoghurt, a little extra cumin, the onions, and a little chopped coriander.
