About

love cooking with chickpeas. This dish is healthy, kid-friendly, quick and tasty and very filling.

Everyone in the family loved it! It is perfect for lunch – filled with lots of flavor, fiber and energy! The best part is that you can make this anytime you want a meatless dish, or do not have a full stocked fridge. It does not even take 30 minutes.

I also made a side of roasted colorful vegetables to serve alongside.

It paired perfectly well together. But you can totally skip the side of roasted veggies and serve with a slice of your favorite bread.

If you ask me, my answer would be to serve it with a slice of toasted pita pockets.
