Chickpea Dinner.

Looking to for a fast and easy meal? Have a can of Chickpeas that you need to use up? Well look no further for a good, light , protein packed meal because I have it right here!

There are really no precise measurements for this recipe, as I pretty much invented it. First if you are using canned Chickpeas, take them out and wash them in strainer. Chop up some veggies of your choice, I used green bell pepper, asparagus (a good spring vegetable), mushrooms and broccoli.

You could also add or substitute spinach, onion, pineapple or what ever you think would be good. Put the chopped up veggies in frying pan, add the cooking oil of your choice, and saute your veggies. Next add curry powder - 1 to 2 tsps depending on how spicy you want the dish to be. I also added some garlic--about half a tsp-- and put some salt in. Add your chickpeas now, as many as you would like in proportion to the veggies. Make sure you don't wait to put these in as they take a while to heat. To make sauce for these recipe add water to the frying pan to cook with the veggies and spices.

When cooked spread over rice. I used white rice, but wild, brown or even coconut would be equally good in my opinion. This recipe take 20 minutes tops to make, 10 minutes for the rice and veggies and 10 for prep.

Bon Appetit~!
