Gluten-Free Flour Blend 1 cup – This will be your base for any batter or dough. Opt for a high-quality, all-purpose gluten-free flour blend that includes rice flour, potato starch, and tapioca flour for the best texture.
Chickpeas 1 can, drained and rinsed – Packed with protein and fiber, chickpeas add substance and heartiness to your meals. They’re perfect for salads, stews, and even veggie patties!
Quinoa 1 cup cooked – A easy gluten-free grain that’s loaded with protein, fiber, and minerals. Quinoa is great in bowls or as a side dish.
Fresh Veggies carrots, bell peppers, spinach – Full of vitamins and antioxidants, vegetables provide color and a burst of flavor. Try using a mix of seasonal veggies to keep things fresh!
Olive Oil 2 tbsp – For cooking or dressing, olive oil is a must for healthy fats and a rich flavor.
Coconut Milk 1/2 cup – Adds creaminess and natural sweetness, ideal for curries, soups, or smoothies.
Eggs 2 large – They act as the binding agent in many gluten-free dishes, giving structure and fluff to your baked goods or patties.
Herbs & Spices turmeric, cumin, garlic powder – These flavor-packed additions can turn a simple dish into something extraordinary! Use a mix of earthy and bold spices to bring your meal to life.

Avocado 1, sliced – For a creamy texture and added healthy fats.
Cheese dairy-free or regular – If you want to go extra indulgent, sprinkle some shredded cheese on top of your dish before serving.
Lemon Juice 1 tbsp – A squeeze of lemon adds brightness and balances flavors.

Start by cooking your grains (like quinoa) or rice. They typically take 15-20 minutes, so you can prep your other ingredients while they cook. Be sure to use a medium heat to avoid overcooking them.

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped veggies like carrots, bell peppers, and spinach. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until they’re tender but still vibrant. Tip: You can add a pinch of salt and pepper while sautéing to bring out the natural flavors of the veggies.

Add your chickpeas to the pan and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to get a little crispy on the edges. You’ll want them to slightly brown, which adds a nice texture to the dish.

In a small bowl, whisk together coconut milk and spices like turmeric, cumin, and garlic powder. Pour this creamy goodness into the veggie and chickpea mixture. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens up. You can also squeeze in a bit of lemon juice at this point for an added burst of freshness!

If you like, you can toss in some tofu, tempeh, or chicken (if not strictly plant-based). This step gives your dish an extra protein punch, making it more filling and satisfying.

Once everything is perfectly mixed and heated through, plate your dish with a generous serving of the quinoa or rice you prepared earlier. Top it off with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a few slices of avocado, or even a drizzle of sriracha for a little heat!

Flavor Boosters: If you want a more complex flavor, try adding a dash of coconut aminos or tamari for an umami-rich twist.
Texture Tip: To get crispy chickpeas, roast them in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes before adding them to the pan!
Meal Prep: This dish stores beautifully in the fridge for a few days, making it perfect for meal prep.
