Equipment

1 cooking pan

Ingredients

2 cups cooked chickpeas
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 medium bell pepper
1/4 tsp sweet paprika powder
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option)
Vegetable broth (as needed)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, and chopped onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Stir in paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute to toast the spices, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Add the cooked chickpeas to the skillet and stir well to coat them with the spices and aromatics. Pour in the heavy cream (or coconut cream) and simmer for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Adjust the consistency by adding vegetable broth or water as needed.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve and enjoy!
