Good ingredients to pair with chickpeas
You do not need an exact recipe to get started. Pick one or two ingredients that complement chickpeas, then choose a cooking style that suits your time and the meal you want.
Easy chickpeas meal ideas
- chickpea curry — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- tomato chickpea stew — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- crispy chickpea rice bowl — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
- chickpea and potato traybake — use it as a starting format and adapt the vegetables, seasonings and portions to what you have.
Turn a few ingredients into a coherent dinner
Choose a base, a flavour direction and one or two supporting ingredients. For example, rice or potatoes can make the meal filling, while lemon and garlic, tomato and herbs, soy and chilli, or curry spices can give the ingredients a clear direction.
Make the idea fit your evening
The same ingredient can produce a very different answer depending on whether you need dinner in 20 minutes, want one pan, are feeding four people or need to use another ingredient before it goes to waste. Add those constraints before choosing the final recipe.
Use SIZZIO to make it specific
Tell SIZZIO what you have, how many people you are feeding and what kind of meal you want. You can then save the recipe and move into the cooking flow instead of starting another search when it is time to cook.
