Directions
- Begin by making the peach sauce for our chickpeas. In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the Crofter’s Organic Premium Peach Fruit Spread, agave, soy sauce, sriracha, and chopped red chili peppers to a bowl. Whisk together to combine.
- In a medium sauce pot, heat up the sesame oil and the minced garlic over medium-high heat. Next, add in the chickpeas and pour in the peach sauce. Stir well to cover chickpeas. Bring the chickpeas to a simmer and allow to cook for 5-6 minutes stirring regularly.
- While the chickpeas are cooking in the sauce, let’s make the vegan ranch dressing. To make the dressing, combine all listed ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together well. Set aside. After the chickpeas are cooked through, remove from heat, and allow to cool.
- Next, prepare the bowl ingredients by poking some holes in a small red chili and then place it on a grill over high heat. Remove once softened and cooked through. Prepare the brown rice and green peas. Mix together.
- Serve the chickpeas over a bowl of cooked rice and green peas. Garnish with the grilled red chili, sesame seeds, finely chopped green onion, and a drizzle of the vegan ranch dressing. Enjoy!
