What's Cookin Wednesday - Carrot & Chickpea Skillet





adapted from BH&G
Ingredients:
  • 2 15.5oz cans of chickpeas, rinsed & drained
  • 1# carrots, peeled & sliced 1/4" thick
  • 2 cups cauliflower florets
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (I substituted pineapple juice due to allergies

Instructions:
  1. In a 12" skillet heat 2 Tbls olive oil over medium-high.  Add chickpeas; cook 4 minutes or until lightly brown, stirring occasionally.  Remove chickpeas from skillet; set aside.
  2. Add 1 Tbl olive oil to skillet.  Add carrots, cauliflower, paprika, cumin and 1/2 tsp salt.  Cook 5 minutes or until carrots and cauliflower are just tender, stirring occasionally.  Add broth and juice.  Bring to boiling; reduce heat.  Boil gently, uncovered, 10 minutes.  Stir in chickpeas; heat through.  If desired, sprinkle with mint (I did not)


This dish was better received than I thought it would be.  We all loved it!  One pan, 2 steps - that's a winner in my book!  The suggestion is to serve it with rice, couscous or quinoa, but we ate it as is.
