Garbanzo Broccolini Stir Fry

February 10, 2021 by Alana

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.

This flavorful Garbanzo Broccolini Stir Fry requires only 9 ingredients and comes together in just 20 minutes. Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and packed with protein, this makes a perfect quick meal for a busy weeknight!

The beauty of a stir fry is that with just a few healthy ingredients and some simple flavorings, you can have a meal ready in minutes. Plus, with the exception of the broccolini, chances are you already have most of these ingredients in your pantry.

Ingredients

  • Olive Oil
  • Garbanzo Beans – I always use Eden Organic because there’s no added salt and their cans are BPA-free
  • Broccolini – I love broccolini because of their tender stems and delicate flavor, but if you can’t find any, then broccoli makes a perfect substitute
  • Coconut Aminos – A salty, savory sauce that contains only a third of the sodium as soy sauce
  • Lemon Juice
  • Garlic
  • Toasted Sesame Oil – Use as a finishing oil at the end of cooking to add a deep, nutty flavor to the meal
  • Green Onions
  • Red Pepper Flakes

What’s The Difference Between Broccoli and Broccolini?

Although broccoli and broccolini look very similar, there are some key differences to keep in mind. Broccolini is actually a hybrid between broccoli and Chinese broccoli. Compared to broccoli, broccolini is smaller, as well as more tender and delicate. The smaller florets and thinner stalks make it well-suited to the quick cooking time in this recipe. Plus, broccolini has a pleasantly sweet taste and is less bitter than broccoli. However, if you don’t have broccolini available, then broccoli will certainly make a great substitute.

Instructions

It couldn’t be simpler to make this stir fry! Start with a large skillet or wok. I find that my Staub Perfect Pan is just the right size and shape for this recipe. Plus, ingredients don’t stick to the enameled cast-iron surface.

First, heat a bit of olive oil in your pan, then add the garbanzo beans and cook for about 5 minutes. The beans will start to get slightly crispy and will develop a bit of color. Next, add the broccolini, coconut aminos, and lemon juice, and stir often while cooking. After a few minutes, the broccolini will start to develop a bright green color. Next, add the garlic and cook for another minute, until the garlic softens and becomes fragrant. Finally, drizzle with some sesame oil, then top with some red pepper flakes and thinly sliced green onions as garnish.

Chef’s Tips

For convenience and time savings, I like to use canned garbanzo beans for this recipe. Just be sure that the can is BPA-free. Also, if possible, get beans with no added salt. Either way, be sure to rinse and drain the beans well before using.

Serving Suggestions

To turn this stir fry into a more filling meal, serve on top of brown rice, quinoa, or another grain of your choosing.

Storage Suggestions

Refrigerate leftovers in a closed storage container and use within 3 to 5 days.

Vegan Mexican Bowl

January 12, 2020 by Alana

When I’m craving a healthy meal that I can really sink my teeth into, this Vegan Mexican Bowl is one of my favorite things to prepare. This delicious Mexican-inspired meal features a bed of crisp romaine lettuce topped with brown rice, black beans, and salsa. Cauliflower florets roasted in a fragrant blend of spices adds some heat to the dish. Next, slices of jalapeño peppers, creamy avocado, and crunchy pepitas are added. Finally, a squeeze of lime juice and a drizzle of vegan sour cream rounds out the satisfying meal.

It’s Time To Make A Vegan Mexican Bowl

I know that the thought of following a vegan diet can be intimidating. It certainly was for me when I first started out! After many years of following the Standard American Diet, it can feel confusing to know how to eat as a vegan. However, the concept of a Buddha bowl is a great help when it comes to making a delicious, nutritious meal quickly and easily.

Buddha bowls are a great way to put together an easy meal that checks off all the nutritional boxes. My basic formula for creating a Buddha bowl is as follows:

  • A base of greens, like romaine, spinach, or arugula
  • Grains, such as brown rice, farro, or quinoa
  • Protein, such as beans, lentils, or tofu
  • Raw, steamed, or roasted vegetables of your choosing
  • A healthy fat source like avocado, nuts, or seeds
  • A flavorful topping or sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or hummus

The beauty of a Buddha Bowl is that it’s completely customizable. Mix and match your favorite ingredients, switch things up with different sauces and spices, and feel free to experiment! In this recipe, using spices like cumin, cayenne, and chili powder, as well as accompaniments like salsa, jalapeño peppers, and vegan sour cream, creates a Mexican-inspired bowl filled with bold flavors.

Ingredients for making a Vegan Mexican Bowl

Bean Options

This recipe calls for cooked black beans. I know that plenty of people have a meal prep routine where they cook large batches of grains and beans each week, either on the stovetop or using an Instant Pot. If you’re in this situation, then more power to you! Having grains and beans prepped ahead of time means much of your work is already done for you in this recipe. However, if you’re short on time, simply use a can of black beans instead. In fact, I love using canned beans as a time saving option, provided that they are organic, made with no added salt, and come in a BPA free can. I love Eden Organic beans because they satisfy all three of those requirements, and are absolutely delicious. Plus, they use kombu seaweed in the preparation of their beans, which makes them easier to digest.

Regardless of whether you use canned beans or prepare your own, black beans boast impressive health benefits. Beans contribute to heart health and also offer antioxidant protection. Plus, beans are a wonderful vegan protein source, with a half-cup serving providing over 7 grams of protein.

Black beans for a vegan Mexican Bowl

This hearty dish is the perfect cross between a salad and a grain bowl. The spicy roasted cauliflower is complimented by creamy avocado and tangy vegan sour cream. All the ingredients come together to create a healthy and satisfying Mexican-inspired meal that will be loved by vegans and non-vegans alike.

Description

Cauliflower is one of those subtle ingredients that acts as a blank slate, letting the spices and seasonings you use really shine. Here, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne transform the humble vegetable into a centerpiece of this meal. Roasting the cauliflower for a short time at high heat allows the florets to get crispy and caramelized.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups water
  • 1 ½ tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1 cup long grain brown rice
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • 2 romaine hearts, chopped (about 8 cups)
  • ¼ medium head red cabbage, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 1 ¾ cups cooked black beans, or 1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 avocados, sliced
  • 1 cup salsa
  • ¼ cup pepitas
  • 2 jalapeños, thinly sliced
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • Vegan sour cream, optional
  • 2 limes, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450° F.
  2. In a medium pot, combine water and salt and bring to a boil. Add rice, then cover, lower heat to a simmer, and cook 40 minutes. Leaving lid on, remove from heat and let sit 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, prepare the cauliflower. In a large bowl, combine cauliflower florets with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, cumin, cayenne, and remaining ½ tsp salt. Toss well to coat. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until tender yet firm, about 15 minutes.
  4. Divide romaine equally between 4 serving bowls, then add shredded cabbage, beans, rice, and cauliflower. Top with avocado, salsa, pepitas, jalapeños, green onion, and vegan sour cream, if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

Vegan Poke Bowl

May 9, 2019 by Alana

Over the past few years, there has been a ton of hype surrounding poke bowls, but I always missed out on the experience because I don’t eat fish. So, I developed my own version with a fun replacement for the usual seafood. Brimming with deliciously healthy ingredients, this beautiful Vegan Poke Bowl is a perfect meal for a warm spring day.

Vegan Poke Bowl Ingredients

Adding A Vegan Twist

A traditional poke bowl is a Hawaiian staple usually consisting of sushi rice, a variety of accompaniments like avocado, green onions, and ginger, and most importantly, chunks of raw, marinated fish. In fact, the word poke, meaning “to cut”, refers to the slicing style of the cubes of fish. Obviously, as a vegan, I knew I would leave the fish out of the equation, but I wanted to replace it with something a bit more creative than the typical tofu option. When I saw some vibrant watermelon radishes at the grocery store, inspiration struck! Not only is the color on point, but the crisp radish cubes provide the perfect canvas for a marinade of rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.

Jade Pearl Rice

The use of Jade Pearl Rice brings the beauty of this bowl up to another level. Bamboo extract infuses this stunning sushi-style rice, which gives it a delicate, grassy taste and aroma as well as this gorgeous green hue. Of course, you could opt for another kind of rice instead, but if you can get ahold of this, it’s definitely worth it!

Vegan Poke Bowl

This vegan poke bowl is a vibrant marriage of strong flavors. Resting on a fluffy bed of bamboo rice, the marinated watermelon radishes are the star of the show. The bowl is then loaded with crunchy veggies and tender edamame. Finally, kimchi and a drizzle of avocado wasabi cream finish off the dish with a kick.

Description

While traditional Hawaiian poke bowls are typically made with pieces of tuna or salmon, this vegan version uses watermelon radish cubes, which provide the perfect canvas for a marinade of rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp coconut aminos, divided
  • 1 Tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 1/2 lbs watermelon radishes, large diced
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 2 cups Jade Pearl Rice (see note)
  • 2 Tbsp hot water
  • 1 tsp wasabi powder
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup roughly chopped cilantro, medium packed
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 3 cups edamame, prepared according to package directions
  • 1 1/2 cups sunflower sprouts
  • 3/4 cup pickled jalapeño slices
  • 3/4 cup kimchi (see note)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine vinegar, sesame oil, 2 Tbsp of the coconut aminos, and ginger, whisking well to combine. Add radishes, stirring well, and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups of water and 1/4 tsp of the salt and bring to a boil. Add rice, stirring well, and cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for a few minutes. Fluff and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together hot water and wasabi powder until well combined. Let sit for about 5 minutes to let flavors release.
  4. In a food processor, combine wasabi, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, remaining 1 tsp of the coconut aminos, and remaining 1/4 tsp of the salt. Process until smooth and creamy, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. To serve, divide rice evenly among six bowls. Top with radishes, edamame, sunflower sprouts, jalapeño, kimchi, and carrot. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds, and drizzle with avocado cream. 

Notes

Jade Pearl Rice can sometimes be found in specialty shops or health food stores, or can be purchased online from Amazon.com. If you can’t find Jade Pearl Rice, feel free to substitute your favorite rice or grain option.

I love Wildbrine Korean Kimchi because it is both vegan and gluten-free. If you can’t find it in a store near you, you can use your favorite vegan kimchi brand instead.

Moroccan-Spiced Stew With Garbanzo Beans And Cauliflower

March 1, 2019 by Alana

Here in California and in much of the country, we’re still in the throes of cold and stormy weather. If you ask me, the perfect way to combat the cold is to enjoy a warming bowl of stew or soup. Brimming with the bold flavors of harissa, preserved lemons, olives, and a wide assortment of spices, this Moroccan-Spiced Stew is the perfect winter meal!

Moroccan-Spiced Stew

Last Spring, I was lucky enough to have an overabundance of Meyer lemons growing in my garden. I decided to try my hand at making preserved lemons, which is a traditional ingredient used in Moroccan and Middle Eastern cooking. Essentially, preserved lemons are lemons that have been pickled in salt and their own juices. The simple preserving process involves quartering the lemons, rubbing them with salt, then packing them into jars. I used this recipe from Nourished Kitchen as a general guideline. The most important ingredient is patience, since the lemons need to ferment at room temperature for about a month.

preserved lemons being made

Lemons are always one of my favorite ingredients to use, but preserving them really amps up their flavor to another level. The sourness of the lemons becomes more mellow during the fermentation process. You can use the peels in their entirety because they soften during the preservation process. Thus, the citrus oils found in the lemon peels provide an explosion of complex flavors. While I have experimented with using preserved lemons in sweet applications, they really shine when used in more traditional applications such as this Moroccan-spiced stew.

Moroccan-Spiced Stew

An extensive use of spices is a hallmark of Moroccan cuisine. In fact, the famed Moroccan spice blend called ras el hanout is said to contain twenty-seven different spices. Spices such as cinnamon, cumin, ginger, and turmeric make an appearance here in this rich and warming Moroccan-spiced stew. Moroccan stews, also called tagines, typically contain meat, but here garbanzo beans and cauliflower take center stage and create a hearty base that lets the variety of spices truly shine.

Description

This recipe makes extensive use of the spices and condiments typical of Moroccan cuisine. Moroccan stews, also called tagines, usually contain meat, but here garbanzo beans and cauliflower take center stage. Searing the cauliflower at the beginning of cooking may seem like an unnecessary step, but it actually provides a lot of extra flavor and texture to the entire meal.


Scale

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup coconut oil, divided
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 3 carrots, diced
  • 1 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp sumac
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 28 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 15 oz cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 preserved lemon, rinsed, seeded, and roughly chopped (see note)
  • ½ cup green olives, roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup harissa
  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 Tbsp arrowroot
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • ½ bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
  • ½ bunch cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven, heat 2 Tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add cauliflower and sear until golden and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue searing until all sides are crisped. When finished, place in a medium bowl and reserve.
  2. Over medium heat, melt remaining 2 Tbsp oil in dutch oven. Add onion, celery, carrots, and ½ tsp of the salt and stir well to combine. Cover, reduce heat, and cook until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add spices and remaining ½ tsp salt. Stir well and cook over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes, reserved cauliflower, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes.
  5. Add garbanzo beans, preserved lemon, green olives, harissa, lemon zest, and lemon juice and stir well to combine. Cook on medium heat until heated through, about 5 minutes.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk arrowroot and water to create a slurry. Stir into the stew and cook until slightly thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Stir in parsley and cilantro until well combined.

Notes

Preserved lemons can generally be found in specialty markets and some grocery stores. If you have trouble finding them, you can substitute the zest and juice of one additional lemon.

Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger

July 26, 2018 by Alana

A good burger is one of those summertime staples that evokes so much nostalgia, but they’ve often been either out of reach or simple unsatisfying for those of us who don’t eat meat. These days, us vegans are lucky to have a ton of different pre-made veggie burger options available at our fingertips. However, these are often very processed and full of unnecessary ingredients. As a Natural Chef, I always love to make my food from scratch, so I created this delicious Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger to satisfy my burger craving!

Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger ingredients

What About Protein?

Having been vegan for over a year now, I’ve gotten quite used to people wondering where my protein comes from. I’m always happy to debunk the common misconception that people need to consume animal products in order to get enough protein in their diets. The fact of the matter is that plants are wonderful sources of protein! When I developed this Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger, I made sure to include a variety of protein-rich whole food ingredients.

Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger Patties Uncooked

Garbanzo beans, sunflower seeds, and rice are all high-quality protein sources. Additionally, Forbidden rice (a deep purple heirloom rice variety) is extremely high in anthocyanins, which help protect against free radical damage. The ground flax seeds, in addition to acting as a binder, are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. Oats and beets are both great sources of dietary fiber. Not only are these Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burgers delicious, but they are also nutritional powerhouses.

Garbanzo Beet Veggies Burger Patties Cooked

Powdered crimini mushrooms are the secret ingredient in these Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burgers. Dried mushrooms, ground into a powder in a spice grinder, help pack an umami punch to this meal. Additionally, grated beets lend an earthy flavor and dramatic hue to these beautiful burger patties.

Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger Patties Stack

These delicious burgers are truly a vegan dream come true! They’re wonderful served on a bun or lettuce wrap, or simply chopped up on top of a salad. The best part is that they’re hearty enough to stand up to all your favorite toppings. Personally, I love my Garbanzo Beet Veggie Burger topped with whole grain mustard, greens, and some tangy sauerkraut or kimchi.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, finely diced
  • 2 tsp sea salt, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp water
  • 2 Tbsp ground flax seed

  3. In a small bowl, add water and flax seeds and stir to combine. Set aside until mixture has thickened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, add garbanzo beans and roughly mash with a potato masher until most beans are crushed but some chunks remain.
  5. Add rice, beet, and reserved onion and garlic to the garbanzo beans and stir well to combine.
  6. In a food processor, add sunflower seeds and pulse several times until coarsely chopped. Add rolled oats and pulse several more times. Mixture should still be chunky and not powdery. Add to garbanzo bean mixture and stir well to combine.
  7. In a small bowl, mix mushroom powder, nutritional yeast, oregano, smoked paprika, chipotle powder, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp salt, stirring well to combine. Add to garbanzo bean mixture and mix well to incorporate.
  8. In a medium bowl, add tomato paste, coconut aminos, and chickpea miso. Whisk well until combined, then add to garbanzo bean mixture. Add reserved flax mixture and mix very well until wet ingredients are well incorporated.
  9. Form dough into 6 patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until patties are firm and exterior is slightly crispy.

Notes

This recipe calls for Forbidden rice, which is an heirloom variety of rice with a very deep purple color. If you can’t find this variety, brown rice can be substituted.
