    Smoky Roasted Chickpeas and Tomato Over Saffron Rice

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    The flavor of this Smoky Roasted Chickpeas and Tomato dish is a wonderful combination of smoked paprika, spiced beans, and charred tomatoes with a touch of sweetness and some heat. Accompanied by saffron rice and fresh basil, you have a pretty fancy plant-based dinner!

    It was a hot day, to say the least, but I barely even noticed because I was just so immersed in the amazing wine, delicious food, great conversations, laughter, and music. I highly suggest attending one of these events as it's all for a great cause.

    Smoky Roasted Chickpeas and Tomatoes

    Upon landing back in San Diego, after such a fun weekend, it was nice to see some rain. The unexpected storms are always the best kind. The cooler weather had me craving something warm and hearty.

    And after experimenting in the kitchen with aquafaba again - the liquid inside a can of garbanzo beans - I was left with so many garbanzo beans.

    I decided to create a smoky chickpea dish using my homegrown tomatoes. The smoked paprika paired so well with a touch of sweetness from the almost caramelized roasted tomatoes. A little salt and some fresh herbs made this Smoky Roasted Chickpeas and Tomato dish perfect!

    I've said in the past that it's important to always keep rice on hand. Whether you make it weekly or daily in a rice cooker or you're feeling lazy and keep it frozen, doesn't matter; just always keep white or brown rice handy. This dish would be GREAT over pasta as well. 

    I added saffron to the rice, which added a whole new level of flavor.

    Smoky Roasted Chickpeas and Tomato over saffron rice is GREAT for dinners in when you're super busy and don't have much time to put a gourmet meal together. Trust me, the family will love it and think you spent hours cooking it.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
