VEGGIE-PACKED CHICKPEA POT PIE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat and add the potatoes. Cook in gently boiling water for 10-15 minutes, until they are tender and can easily be pierced with a fork.
• Drain the potatoes in a colander.
• Divide the potatoes into two medium bowls and mash half of them. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until the oil is shimmering.
• Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2 minutes.
• Add the celery, corn, broccoli, carrot, mushrooms, chickpeas, parsley, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir.
• Add the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still slightly firm.
• Remove the rosemary and thyme sprigs.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix well.
• Pour in half of the vegetable stock and stir.
• Add the nutritional yeast and stir well.
• Pour in half of the remaining vegetable stock and cook for about 2 minutes while continuing to stir.
• Incorporate the mashed potatoes and enough of the remaining stock to reach your desired consistency.
• Add the diced potatoes and stir.
• Pour the vegetable mixture into a 9-inch (23-cm) baking dish.
• Mix 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons soy milk in a small mixing bowl.
• Brush the outside edges of the baking dish with the mix using a brush or your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Place the pie crust dough over the top of the baking dish, pressing the edges to make it stick.
• Brush the top of the dough lightly with the oil-soy milk wash.
• Make a small X-shaped incision on the top of the crust.
• Bake for about 45 minutes or until the pie crust is golden.
• Enjoy!

1-POT CHICKPEA SHAKSHUKA

Steps:

• Heat a large rimmed metal or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add olive oil, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and fragrant.
• Add tomato puree or diced tomatoes, tomato paste, coconut sugar, sea salt, paprika, cumin, chili powder, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (optional), cardamom, and coriander (optional). Stir to combine.
• Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add chickpeas and olives (optional). Stir to combine. Then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop and marry with the beans.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more cumin or paprika for smokiness, cayenne for heat, coconut sugar for sweetness, cardamom and coriander for earthiness (or slight curry flavor), chili powder for smoke/heat, or olives for saltiness and to balance the tomato flavor. Cook longer, as needed, to develop flavors.
• Serve as is or with bread, pasta, or rice. I loved this alongside a kale salad, and it went especially well over gluten-free pasta! Garnish with fresh lemon juice, additional olives, and cilantro or parsley for extra flavor (optional).
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 1 month. Reheat on the stovetop until completely warmed through.

CHICKPEA POT PIE

Steps:

• Cook onion and oil in Dutch oven over medium heat for 15 minutes until browned. Stir in garlic, carrots and celery and saute for 5 minutes.
• Stir in 5 cups of the broth, the corn, chickpeas and all of the spices.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes before stirring in noodles. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until noodles are tender then remove the bay leaves.
• Whisk together the cornstarch, flour and 1 cup of the broth. Stir this with the cream and parmesan cheeses into the vegetable mixture. Remove from heat. Cool then stir in the beans and peas.
• Preheat the oven to 375. Place puff pastry on top of the Dutch oven and tuck in the sides (You can also divide the mixture into small dishes and make individual pot pies).
• Pierce top in several places with knife and then bake 30-40 minutes until crust is flaky and brown.

INSTANT POT CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Add chickpeas and baking soda to a bowl and cover with cool water by about 3 inches (ensuring they're well submerged). Soak overnight, or for at least 6-8 hours at room temperature.
• Drain and rinse chickpeas well, then add to Instant Pot and cover with just enough water to submerge (as original recipe is written, we found 1 cup soaked chickpeas to require ~2 - 2 ¼ cups water).
• For more flavor, add onion, garlic, oil, herbs, salt, and pepper.
• Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, or up to 17-18 minutes for super buttery, tender chickpeas. For chickpeas with some bite, try 13-14 minutes. NOTE: If you soaked your chickpeas for longer than 8 hours (for instance, overnight or 10+ hours), you can likely cook your chickpeas even faster (anywhere from 12-14 minutes).
• Quick release* (always being careful of the steam). We prefer picking out the onion, garlic, and herbs before serving. Drain off any excess cooking liquid as well. You can also reserve the cooking liquid as it's quite flavorful and can be added to soups and stews (though we don't believe it would be effective for using as aquafaba).
• These beans are ready to enjoy! We find them especially well suited for things like our Chickpea Buddha Bowl, Hummus From Scratch, or 1-Pot Curried Chickpea Soup! Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

CHICKPEA POT

Steps:

• Put chickpeas and water in a large pot; soak beans 8 hours to overnight. Or, bring the beans and water to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let stand 1 hour.
• Add ham hocks, oregano, and bay lead to the water and chickpeas; bring to a boil, place a lid on the pot, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until the chickpeas are tender, about 2 hours. Remove and discard bay leaf.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute sausage chunks in hot skillet until some of the fat renders, 2 to 3 minutes; add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and saute until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add sausage mixture to the mixture in the pot along with Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
• Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the sausage chunks are no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
