Recipe: BBQ Chickpeas

BBQ chickpeas – a meatless option to utilizes your favourite BBQ sauce. Plus, they’re virtually hands free since they make use of the crock pot. Okay, let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

• 2 large white onions
• 600 ml of BBQ sauce
• 2 cans of chickpeas

First, dice your onions and put in a freezer bag. I added my BBQ sauce to the bag, yet you don’t have to since the BBQ sauce and the chickpeas will easily keep in the pantry. I prepped this back in late September and made it in early December, so the frozen onions will certainly hold up for about 3 months.

Once you’re ready to get cooking, dump the onions, BBQ sauce and the chickpeas (drained and rinsed) into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 5 hours.

The no name brand of chickpeas are my favourite, probably becaues their list of ingredients is short, to the point and it’s not full of a lot of additives. You could most certainly soak your own chickpeas, and I’ve done that. It’s just a lot of work for an ingredient you can find in a can (without a bunch of ingredients you can’t pronounce). Be sure to use your favourite brand, though – that way the recipe turns out the best it can for you!

Once it’s done, eat up with corn and cabbage salad and cornbread muffins.

You could also eat these on cheese buns, in taco shells, or with toast. So yummy and hearty. All in all, just eat with something that can sop up the BBQ juices, that’s the best part of this meal.

Well, there you have it – one super-duper quick meal that’s hearty, filling and makes for excellent leftovers. Plus, it puts another spin on your favourite BBQ sauce.

Thanks so much for visiting and I’ll see you again soon.

Eat up and stay warm!
