How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (Note 1)
- 1/2 pound bok choy or romaine
- 3 ounces wild mushrooms, sliced (such as oyster and/or shiitake)
- 1/4 onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos (we like Big Tree Farms)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 2 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 33333333/100000000 cup chopped or sliced almonds, cashews, or peanuts
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: If the nuts are un-toasted, toast them in a dry frying pan over medium heat for a few minutes. Shake the pan often to avoid burning. They will be ready when they are fragrant. Set aside.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, wash the leafy greens and remove any dirt hidden in the inner leaves. Chop the greens into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- Step 3: Heat the oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Add the chickpeas and greens. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the greens have lost their volume, about 4 minutes.
- Step 5: Stir together the nut butter and aminos in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this into the chickpea blend and stir to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Add in the scallions and toasted nuts. Give it one final stir to incorporate.
- Serve: Enjoy this with an optional squeeze of lime juice and rice.
