A good base. As others said, I prefer cooking my onions and garlic first, and everything a bit more blended. However, I will continue using this recipe. Thanks!

Despite the positive reviews, I found it bland and uninteresting. I used a clove of garlic (blended with the garbanzos), dried rosemary, and omitted the pasta as I didn’t have anything appropriate on hand. I don’t think any of these changes made an important difference. I’ll probably use the rest as a pasta sauce, maybe adding some olives, or something to give it a stronger flavor.

This tasted fine (like other reviewers said, it won't knock your socks off). I prefer my Mexican rice a bit drier, I might modify this with tomato paste next time, and add some jalapeno peppers.
