Recipe FAQS
What sides go best with this recipe?
I like rice, quinoa or bread with these chickpeas.
Substitutions
- Parsley - can be subbed with basil.
- Nutritional yeast - can be subbed with parmesan or vegan parmesan, if you sub this add it in at the end vs the beginning. The nutritional yeast can also be omitted but keep in mind that this is a flavor booster.
- Coconut milk - I do not recommend subbing the coconut milk. I promise you that the coconut milk taste is covered with all of the flavor additions. If you must sub, try cashew cream.
- Spinach - can be subbed with any leafy green or omitted.

This vegan tuscan chickpea dish is delicious. My non-vegan husband also loved it. Thank you Kristi for sharing your culinary genius with us. You are so talented. A fantastic winter-warmer meal. I made it "as is", although I'm looking forward to enjoying this with rice, like you suggested, with our next serving. I've already bookmarked this recipe and will be sure to make it again soon. Highly recommend this!

Amazing! I did more clean version of it due to my personal preference.
Mustard had only whole grain-amazing!
Yeast-parmegano.
Coconut milk-made at home with coconut paste and water.
No onions, just garlic and didn’t fry to avoid extra oils.
Also added tumeric and ginger for more spice this autumn.
Amazing recipe, alredy shared with friend to try!
