| SWEET & SPICY CHICKPEA LETTUCE WRAPS |
I used to own a meal prep company and this sweet and spicy sauce was by far the most popular thing on our menu. It was served over a protein with a double side of steamed veggies and sold out every single day!
While I no longer ship meals to customers I do get to send YOU the same, healthy, high protein recipes that I love to create so you can own your meal prep at home.

454 cals - 18g fat - 53g carbs - 20g protein
Ingredients:
3 cups canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup roasted, unsalted cashews
1 tbsp sesame oil, this adds a nice toasty, asian flavour but you can substitute for another oil if needed
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and diced
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1/2 cup liquid aminos (or preferred soy sauce)
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp sriracha style hot sauce
lettuce for serving
Recipe:
Finely dice the garlic and ginger. Set aside.
Preheat a pan to medium heat and add sesame oil, coating the bottom of the pan.
Add in diced garlic and ginger and sautee for 1-2 minutes. Just long enough to release the flavours but not long enough to brown them.
Add in coconut sugar and mix through, 1 minute.
Add in liquid aminos, rice vinegar, and sriracha.
Stir everything together and allow to cook on medium heat until sauce has reduced by half, 4-5 minutes.
Add in chickpeas and cashews and continue cooking until all the sauce has been absorbed and chickpeas are nice and sticky with sauce! Roughly 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and serve in lettuce cups or over rice if preferred.
Enjoy!
