Hawaiian Chickpea Teriyaki


This is a recipe out of The Happy Herbivore Cookbook by Lindsay Nixon it's located on page 127.

The glob you see on the top is pineapple mango salsa out of a jar. I wasn't really feeling all the work that would go into making it from scratch, but Lindsay does a great job in her book listing what you would need to make your own salsa.The recipe was very quick to throw together. The part that took the longest was the non-parboiled brown rice. The actual chickpea part of the recipe took a total of 15mins. It was very very flavorful and the salsa added that sweet little kick that it needed. I added some soy sauce to my bowl mainly to give the rice a little flavor. I think that maybe putting a little extra teriyaki sauce on before topping with the salsa would give it just the touch so I'd be able to leave off the soy sauce next time. I will definitely make this again. It was hearty, satisfying and very filling.
