Your New Go-To Meatless Monday Dinner: Quick Chickpea Stir Fry

0 · Sep 11, 2017 · Emily Caruso · 2 Comments

Your New Go-To Meatless Monday Dinner: Quick Chickpea Stir Fry

There is not one person among us who could not benefit from a quick weeknight dinner recipe. As much as I love to be in the kitchen, I have a job and a family and most nights during the week I have about 30 minutes to devote to preparing a meal. Not a minute more.

As a result, I’ve had to get creative in the past with scouring the pantry and refrigerator to see what I can put together (quickly) to feed my family in as healthy of a way as possible.

Regardless of whether or not I meal planned over the weekend (in most cases I did not) I try to have a stock of versatile vegetables in the refrigerator that can be used in a multitude of ways – soups, frittatas, and a great stir fry are my favorite go-to meals.

This quick chickpea stir fry is the ultimate pantry dinner. I am never without cans of beans to either toss on a salad or in this case, toss in my stir fry for a great meatless protein option.

This entire stir fry comes together in less than 30 minutes. I get a small pot of rice simmering on the stove while I chop my vegetables and prepare the simple Asian-inspired sauce. I like to serve this chickpea stir fry with white sushi rice, but you can use brown rice or even your favorite noodle.

You will notice in the recipe that I made a batch that is big enough for 6-8 people. I cook with leftovers in mind. This is a nod to the fact that there are some nights during the week that I only have time to reheat leftovers.

Because of this, I tend to cook enough food to feed my family for two nights knowing that there will be a practice or a meeting or something that will cut into cooking time the next night.

If you would like to make a smaller batch of this quick chickpea stir fry, simply cut the ingredient amounts in half. Feel free to substitute your vegetables based on what you have in your fridge.

  • 4 bell peppers sliced (I used yellow and orange)

  • 1/2 large yellow onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
  • 3/4 cup vegetable broth
