This Moroccan Inspired Chickpea Tartine with Spinach and Chard is a simple easy and delicious meal. Crisp garlic toast topped with sautéed greens and chickpeas seasoned with a Moroccan inspired spice blend.

If you were to look through my pantry you are sure to find several cans of chickpeas or dried chickpeas. They come in handy when I’m in need of a quick meal or snack. When I’m in the mood for a slow cooked meal, I prepare dried chickpeas in my instant pot to use in soups or stews. It’s amazing how many ways chickpeas can be used to create delicious and relatively healthy meals.

Some facts about chickpeas

• Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans.
• They’re a good source of protein and fiber.
• Chickpeas are gluten-free
• Chickpeas are high in potassium
• There are 269 calories, 4.25 grams fat, 44.97 carbs, and 14.53 grams of protein in 1 cup of cooked chickpeas

Lately, we’ve been roasting chickpeas to have on hand for a quick snack or to throw on a salad for some added protein.  This recipe uses chickpeas as a tartine topper.

What is a Tartine?

French in origin and pronounced tärˈtēn.

A slice of bread with sweet or savory spreadable toppings, such as jams, honey, creams and sauces. Basically a fancy name for open-faced sandwich.

This recipe is a variation of a true Tartine because the toppings aren’t super spreadable. However, if you want you can blend the chickpea topping into a spread. I kept it unblended for a heartier taste.

This recipe comes together fast! The greens are sauteed and set aside and kept warm. The same pan is used to prepare the chickpeas, makes for an easy clean-up.

Spicy Teriyaki Ramen with Sriracha - Sautéed veggies, tender buckwheat ramen noodles tossed together in teriyaki sauce and a touch of heat from sriracha makes a quick and easy gluten-free meal.

I find ramen to be a very quick and easy meal to put together, and that’s a good thing after a long day at work. Contrary to the name, buckwheat is not a grain, it’s a gluten-free seed loaded with protein and fiber. It’s also known for its benefits for heart health, diabetes and it may help lower inflammation.

For vegans and vegetarians who don’t eat meat, buckwheat provides some of the essential amino acids that our bodies need and can’t make on its own, animal protein is the major source for these amino acids.

Eating buckwheat helps provide meat-free eaters the full range of essential proteins our bodies need. The wonderful thing about buckwheat noodles is it takes very little time to cook, making this a quick and easy meal. 

TIP: To make this meal quicker, pre-cut the veggies.

I'm finally back with a new recipe of my own.
It's been awhile since I've posted a new recipe of my own. The past couple of months have been hard because I've been dealing with the illness and death of a loved one, who was fighting lung cancer. Even when you know the end is near, it's hard when it happens.

Even when you know the end is near, it's hard when it happens.

Needless to say, I haven't felt much like cooking or being creative in the kitchen, but we still have to eat. So meals lately have been super quick, easy and versatile. In fact, this recipe is a cook once, eat three times maybe more deal.

I absolutely love this Spicy Cilantro Sauce on just about everything. I use it on sandwiches, wraps, veggies, salads, pizza, chips and if course on these easy and delicious chickpea-cauliflower tacos. It has become one of my go-to-meals when I want to eat fast.
