These sweet and sour chickpeas are saucy, rich, flavorful, and perfect as a quick side dish. Serve them over leftover rice and your lunch is ready in 10 minutes. Perfect for vegan meal planning!
To a bowl, add the tomato paste, orange juice, cornstarch, water, bouillon powder, tamari, coconut sugar, and hot sauce. Mix with a whisk and set aside.
Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the chickpeas and continue to cook for a further 1-2 minutes.
Give the sauce another mix and then pour it into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, add the peanut butter, and cook for 1 minute. Then turn off the heat.
Serve with rice. Enjoy!
