Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1-15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 heads broccoli, chopped into florets
3 medium carrots, chopped (1 heaping cup)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
1/4 cup natural creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup almond milk (more if needed to thin)
1 tbsp + 1 tsp reduced sodium soy sauce (sub tamari for gluten-free)
1 tbsp + 1 tsp pure maple syrup
splash of lime juice or rice vinegar (optional)
1 tsp minced ginger (optional) and a pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with a Silipat or parchment paper. Place chickpeas, broccoli, and carrots on baking sheet. Season with olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper, stirring to combine. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, cook your grains. I used frozen brown rice, which made it super easy!
  • Place peanut butter in a medium bowl and microwave for about 20 seconds (optional, but this will make it easier to stir). Add almond milk, soy sauce, maple syrup, ginger, and red pepper flakes and whisk until smooth.
  • Assemble bowls by placing grains at the bottom topped with veggie mixture and plenty of peanut sauce.

BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER COATED WITH SPICED CHICKPEA FLOUR



Broccoli and Cauliflower Coated With Spiced Chickpea Flour image

This is daughter #2's favorite way to eat cruciferous vegetables! The barest minimum of water is used to help retain the maximum nutrients. This is not a "pretty" dish, the vegetables turn a sort of smeary-beige looking, but the flavor is there. We like this wrapped in aloo parathas with steamed brown basmati on the side. Vary the quantity of red pepper flakes and salt to your tastes, we adjust them depending on who's coming to dinner! This is a variation of a recipe from the 30 - Minute Vegetarian Indian Cookbook, one of our favorite resources.

Categories     Cauliflower

Time 27m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons lite olive oil
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
2 1/2 cups bite sized cauliflower florets
2 1/2 cups bite sized broccoli florets
1 tablespoon besan (chickpea flour)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander

Steps:

  • Mix together the besan, 1/2 teaspoon salt, garam masala, cumin, coriander and red pepper flakes, set aside.
  • Heat the oil over a low flame and saute the garlic until soft but not brown.
  • Add the cauliflower and broccoli and increase the heat a bit. Saute for 3-4 minutes, or until they begin to brown.
  • Reduce the heat back to low and sprinkle on the reserved spice blend. Cover the pan and cook for 5-6 minutes. Don't peak! This step will release the moisture from the vegetables, you don't want to lose it.
  • Sprinkle about a tablespoon of water on the vegetables and toss around a little until they look coated with the besan/spice mix. Resist the temptation to add too much water.
  • Cover the pan as quickly as possible and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender but firm, 2-3 minutes. This is the point at which I add in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt or not, depending on who is home for dinner.
