Serves: 4
Ingredients
Chickpeas
  • 1 15oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce (or more if you like!)
  • 1 tbsp hot sauce
  • ½ tbsp raw sugar (just swipe 2 packets from your local coffee shop)
Rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked white or brown rice
Pineapple salsa
  • ½ cup chopped pineapple
  • 2 tablespoon chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • lime juice (from about ½ a lime)
Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, mix together the chickpeas, teriyaki sauce, hot sauce and sugar. Let the chickpeas marinate in the skillet while you get the rice ready.
  2. In a medium pot, bring the 2 cups of water to a boil.
  3. Once the water has come to a boil add the rice. Cover the pot and turn to low. Let simmer until the water is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Rice is done when rice is tender and water has cooked off.
  4. Turn the skillet with the chickpeas to medium. Heat until the chickpeas are cooked enough to our liking, usually about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  5. While everything else is cooking do whatever salsa chopping you need to do in case you didn't do it before you started. Then mix also salsa ingredients together in a bowl.
  6. Serve the rice in a bowl then top with chickpeas and salsa.
