Melt the butter in a heavy pot and soften the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Stir in the paprika and chickpeas and cook 2 minutes to warm them through.
Add the drained rice and stir gently for a minute so the grains turn glassy without breaking.
Pour in the hot stock and salt, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on the lowest heat for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
💡 Lifting the lid mid-cook lets steam escape unevenly and leaves the top layer of rice underdone.
Rest off the heat, covered, for 10 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving.
Rice with chickpeas is one of the most ordinary combinations on the Turkish table, cheap enough to make on any night and filling enough to serve as the whole meal with a side of yogurt. It is standard school-cafeteria and home-kitchen food, rarely written down because everyone already knows it.
