Sometimes we love our food to be on the plate as soon as we feel hungry… This fast chick pea recipe makes our wish come true!
Anytime you use chickpeas (or any other product) in a tin, try out a few different brands and choose the one you find the most delicious. Read the labels carefully in order not to buy hidden sugars or other unnecessary additives (like E621 = MSG).
In paleo you will surely know that chickpeas are legumes, hence not allowed. Primal will allow it however: just make sure they are well cooked, which is certainly the case when they come out of a tin.
