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.

Arielle
These were delicious! So easy to throw together. We aren’t vegan but we are dairy free and the kids love chickpeas. This got a major thumbs up from the 4 and 7 year olds and they devoured everything. It was so good they kept asking to taste the sauce as it simmered. Will be making again!

Kristi
So glad you and the kiddos liked it Arielle!
Caroline
Hi, this looks so yummy!! Are the sun dried tomatoes the ones that you buy in a glass jar in oil? Or the dry ones? Thank you!!
Kristi
You can use either, but if you use them ones in the jar make sure to drain the oil.
Beth-Ann Weiss
Hello
Thank you for sharing recipe!
The mustard, should we use dried mustard or the wet kind like a Dijon or something?
Kristi
Just updated the recipe, I used dijon mustard for this

Izzy
Oooo I have all the ingredients however I have sun dried tomatoes in a jar in oil. Is that ok? if so how many do I pick out?? (and possibly chop a little bit)
Thank you.
Kristi
Just drain the sundried tomatoes over a colander and then chop them (:
Mary Williams
Tried this recipe this week! It was delicious. I may put fewer sundried tomatoes in there next time, but that's just my preference.
Kristi
Thanks Mary!
Naomi Bell
My husband and I are not vegetarian. I can't believe a recipe this easy is so delicious. Served with rice this time as I'm gluten free (and dairy free) but I'm still looking for the perfect crusty bread recipe. I'll be making this regularly!!!
Kristi
Thank you Naomi!

Hi! I just found your recipe while casually strolling my IG. Though the recipe calls for fully vegan ingredients, I had to put my leftover chickens and used fresh tomatoes because I didn't have any sun-dried tomatoes in hands.
Planned to make it ahead for breakfast next day, but really couldn't resist when I tasted to adjust seasonings. I love it to bits. And my husband, who's crazy for chickpeas, love it too and immediately had one with creamcheese bagel!
