Lemon Chickpeas and Rice

We all need an arsenal of easy, healthy, and comforting meals to pull out at the end of a long day. For me, nothing spells comfort food more than a big plate of beans and rice. I love beans, which I suppose makes me a good vegan and extra environmentally friendly. Seriously, everyone should eat more beans and legumes! This recipe has it all, protein, green vegetables, comforting Italian herbs, bright citrusy flavor, and carbohydrates to leave you well satiated.
