Prepare ingredients
Cutting Board

Dice the carrots, mince the garlic, rinse and drain the chickpeas, roughly chop the spinach, and zest and juice the lemon.

Soften carrots
Measuring Spoons

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add carrots and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes.

Measuring Cups
Can opener
Large skillet with lid

Add diced tomatoes with juices, chickpeas, and water. Scrape the skillet bottom, bring to a steady simmer, and cook for 2 minutes.

Keep the skillet at a steady simmer after adding canned ingredients so everything heats evenly.

Stir in instant brown rice, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Use a dry towel when handling the hot skillet lid, and open the lid away from your face to avoid steam burns.
