When we started dabbling in occasional vegan meals, this one stood out to my husband so I am including it here on the website. He always fears when we have vegan meals that he would be hungry after we are done, as well as that it will taste bad, and this meal did not disappoint. The chickpeas made it very filling and of course adding yummy vegetables made me feel like I was serving a nice healthy balanced meal as well.
