5 Ingredient Coconut Curry Chickpeas recipe (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free)

Love this! So good and healthy!

I use all organic ingredients in this. Instead of cornstarch I use tapioca flour. Also, I make my own red curry paste that I found on google.

From this website: http://pinchofyum.com/5-ingredient-coconut-curry

prep time:  5 mins

cook time:  10 mins

total time:  15 mins

serves: 3-4

INGREDIENTS

• 1 can coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 2 small heads broccoli (and/or other veggies of choice)
• 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
• ½ tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons cold water
• optional: minced garlic or onion

1. Saute broccoli (and onion/garlic if you're using it) in a tablespoon of oil. After a few minutes, add the coconut milk and let simmer for 5-8 minutes. The broccoli should soften but still be tender-crisp.
2. Add the curry paste to the pan and whisk it until it combines with the coconut milk. Add the chickpeas.
3. Bring to a slight boil and add the cornstarch. Boil for about a minute, then reduce heat and let cool slightly. Sauce will thicken as the mixture cools.

Slow Cooker Spicy Black Bean Soup recipe (vegan, gluten-free, soy-free)

Love this! So good! 

I did not use Jalapenos because I didn't have any on hand. But I did add a little hot sauce. 

I used 2 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water instead of 4 cups vegetable broth. 

I also added pink Himalayan sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Recipe from this site:
http://www.makingthymeforhealth.com/vegan-slow-cooker-black-bean-soup/

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 8 hours

Yield: 4 bowls or 6 cups

Ingredients

2 cups or 1 pound dried black beans, soaked overnight and rinsed*

1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes (such as Muir Glen)

1 bell pepper, cored and diced

2 jalapenos, cored and diced

1 yellow onion, diced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons oregano

3 teaspoons chili powder

3 teaspoons cumin

3 teaspoons chipotle chili powder**

1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire (such as Annie’s)

2 bay leaves

4 cups vegetable broth (I recommend Better Than Bouillon for the best flavor)

suggestions toppings: diced avocado, chopped cilantro, diced green onions

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients into the slow cooker, stir together, and cook on high for 4 hours. Remove bay leaves at end of cooking.
2. Scoop out several cups of the soup into a bowl or large measuring cup and blend with an immersion blender until pureed. Alternatively, you can blend it in a regular blender but be sure to allow it to cool beforehand. Once it’s pureed, add it back to the slow cooker and stir together.
3. Serve warm in separate bowls and top with avocado, cilantro, and green onions.
4. *If you want to skip soaking the beans, be sure to rinse them and add an additional 2 cups water to the slow cooker prior to cooking. You can also substitute 2 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed, and reduce the vegetable broth to 3 cups and cook time to 4-6 hours.

Notes

**This gives the soup a smoky spice that we love but it might be too spicy for some. You can try starting out with just one teaspoon to see how you like it. You could also use 2 tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chilis in adobo sauce) if you can't find the powder.

PREP TIME:

10 min

COOK TIME:

n/a

A quick and easy vegan pita sandwich with a delicious chickpea and avocado salad inside.

I tried it first with pita bread and then another time with Eureka organic bread. Eureka won. This is also good on lettuce leaves if you're having a no starch meal.

I like adding organic red pepper, sesame seeds (for extra protein), and for more fat burning fresh garlic, fresh turmeric root, and cumin.

INGREDIENTS

Serving Size: 4

1	(15-oz.) can chickpeas (also known as garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
1	ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded and peeled
1	medium lemon, juiced
	Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup	baby spinach leaves
8	slices ripe tomato
2	whole wheat pitas, halved and opened

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium bowl, combine chickpeas and avocado using a fork or masher until well combined but still chunky. Add lemon juice, salt, pepper.
2. Arrange spinach and tomato in pita. Place ¼ mixture of salad into each pita and enjoy!

Variations: add cucumber slices, shredded carrots or shredded daikon radishes.

Shred the carrot and beet in a blender. Add to the bowl.
Place all other ingredients in a small glass jar with a lid and shake. Pour over the salad. Mix thoroughly.

Tempeh Scramble recipe (vegan, gluten free)

I can't believe I actually enjoyed this!

By the way, I'm not a fan of consuming soy, but organic fermented soy like tempeh is actually healthy. This is a great vegan alternative to scrambled eggs.
