Rice & Chickpea Bowl

Having a lot of vegetables left and don't know what to do with them?

Try this easy, fast and delicious meal, ready in less than 30 minutes. My favorite meals are either the ones that taste really good, but come together fast or the ones in which I use most of my languishing vegetables from the refrigerator and come up with unexpected wonderful results. This meal has them both. This rice bowl recipe is packed with a plant-based protein, which is super healthy, full of good nutrients and it will fill your lunch or dinner in no time. And thanks to all various ingredients, this is bursting with flavor.

Also, you could have this chickpea stew with rice, next to your favorite protein or meat.
