Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.Wash and dry all produce. Add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt to a medium pot. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add rice, then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas.Cut zucchini into 1/2-inch pieces.Roughly chop cilantro. Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to the pot, then swirl the pot until butter melts.Add ginger-garlic puree, tomato sauce base and Indian Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant and combined, 1-2 min.
Add mirepoix, chickpeas and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) water to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 2-3 min. Add zucchini. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 3-5 min.Season with salt and pepper.
Add crushed tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Meanwhile, melt 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) butter in a small microwavable bowl or a small pot over low heat.Arrange flatbreads on an unlined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.Toast flatbreads in the middle of the oven until warmed through, 2-4 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on flatbreads so they don't burn!)
