The Best New Recipe in a Long Time! Yay!

Hawaiian Chickpea Teriyaki

Alas, no pictures again. We ate it all so fast and furious that there wasn't a chance for a picture, but trust me, this was cheap, super easy, super healthy, and ultra delicious. I mean really, how often do 5 different kids, a husband and a wife all like the same brand new meal(never, I'll tell you that)?

I doubled this recipe for my family. It came from a friend's blog, towerofthegods.com/dreamer, who got it from the cookbook, The Happy Herbivore by Lindsay Nixon.

1 15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed (or you can make your own from dried)
1/4 c teriyaki sauce
1 tbsp szechuan sauce or hot sauce (I omitted this because my kids don't like spicy)
2 c cooked brown rice
pineapple salsa (I combined a can of crushed pineapple, chopped red onion, cilantro and lime juice)
plain crushed pineapple for the little kids
Combine chickpeas, teriyaki sauce (and hot sauce if used) in a frying pan. Marinate for 5 minutes. Cook over med-high heat, stirring regularly, until the majority of the liquid has absorbed. This will take about 10 min. Serve over rice and top with pineapple salsa.
Makes 2-3 servings (and is very filling)
