Add 2 ladles of broth and cook rice until al dente.
Combine the blended chickpeas with the rice.
Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
Notes
For an even lighter version, you can replace the bacon with diced smoked tofu. This variation will not only reduce the calorie content, but also make the dish suitable for those on a vegetarian or vegan diet.
