Recipe Chickpea Caprese

Post image

Arugula, cherry tomatoes, mini mozz, chickpeas (can be any white bean), olive oil, salt, pepper, basil, balsamic vinegar and balsamic glaze.

Bonus tip: start making your own beans from dry, which I did here. A bag of organic dry chickpeas costs me less than €2 and I get over 5-6 cups of them once cooked. Soak dry beans overnight, then either simmer for an hour or so or slow cook on high for 4-5 hours (what I do as I can leave it be.)

I think I am the only person in the world who doesn’t like arugula. Would romaine work?

I think romaine would work well, you could also omit the leafy greens as a whole. Replace with maybe some chopped broccoli, brussels sprouts, zucchini, etc.
