Protein Packed Dish.

Chickpea's known also as Garbanzo beans hold a great amount of nutritional value. 1TBSP is 2.4g of Protein 1 cup of chickpeas is 40g of protein :) They are rich in fiber and Calcium!

Being Vegan does not mean you need to take protein powders, or supplements to get your protein. Simply by eating beans, lentils, fruits, and leafy vegetables you can gain all the protein you will ever need.

Here is a recipe I like to cook every week for Joey and I to eat for dinner and have left overs for lunch the next day,

WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

1 can of Chickpea's (buy at any grocery store)

1 Jar of roasted red peppers

Garlic clove

Natural balance vegan butter (highly recommend this butter)

Rice (any rice you prefer I eat Jasmine rice)

Green Onions (optional)

HOW TO MAKE:

-Rinse your can of chickpeas in hot water

-Open your jar of roasted red peppers and cut the peppers into dices

- Heat your skillet with 1tbsp butter on medium/high heat & add one clove of diced garlic to the pan (let cook for just 30 seconds)

-Add the chickpeas to the pan and cover for 10 minutes

-Then add 4 tbsp water / and your diced red peppers/ stir good/ put lid on and let cook on low for another 10 minutes

Once your dish is done add your rice to a plate and load it with your chickpea and roasted red peppers- add green onions on top for color :)
