Comfort fish and chickpea pilaf
Pilaf
Armenian cuisine
This recipe is inspired by something my Pakistani graduate school friend used to make. A hearty rice dish that was a one dish meal, enriched with her black cardamoms and complete with a generous dose of butter. It might be argued that you might add clarified butter to this, but back then in a graduate school setting that might be a novelty. She added chunks of fish (canned sardines) to this recipe, it is still my go to comfort food.

<br />Over time, I have made my own modifications, I have added Vidalia onions and through in the diced potatoes that my mother adds to her fish pilaf to seal the flavors of this dish. I also like to squeeze in fresh lime juice over the rice before serving.
