These chickpeas, you guys. THESE CHICKPEAS.
Here’s what we have going on here:
- Protein-packed chickpeas
- Sautéed garlic and onion
- Lots of warm, cozy spices
- Slow simmered fire-roasted tomatoes
- Warm fluffy couscous
- A quick herby cucumber salad for a bite of freshness
- Yogurt or hummus to tie it all together
Even better news: it’s not only clean and healthy but can also be prepped to go from freezer to Instant Pot in a snap. That’s right. WINNING.
All you have to do it dump it all in a bag, freeze it, and pull it out when you’ve been living the takeout life a little too fiercely and need a healthy dinner in a snap.
Seriously. This is my colder-weather go-to for a super nutritious, plant-based meal that is basically the same experience as me eating my favorite comfort food. Okay, fine, pizza might still stand in a category all its own, but other than that, I’d say these chickpeas can compete with the best of them.
