Spiced Orzo u0026 Chickpeas

-1 Bring 2 cups of salted water to a boil then add in the orzo. Cook for about 8-12 minutes, then drain the water and set aside.
-1 Heat a medium sized pan on medium heat, then add in the olive oil. Add in the chopped shallot and saute on a medium/low flame for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-1 Add the chickpeas into the pan along with the spices and give that a stir.
-1 Pour in the orzo and the chopped parsley and mix together on a low flame until everything if fully combined. I like to add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice at the end, about 1 tbsp. 
-1 Serve warm with your favorite side dishes. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
