Ingredients

Scale

Chickpeas & Sauce

  • 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 to 1 cup peanut sauce (preferably thick)

Vegetables & Sauté

  • 4 cups chopped and de-stemmed kale
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Base

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanut Sauce: If you haven’t made the peanut sauce, prepare it ahead of time and aim for a thicker consistency for this recipe.
  2. Cook Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place them in a saucepan over low heat. Add the peanut sauce, starting with about 1/3 cup, reserving extra for drizzling. Heat gently for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the sauce to thicken and blend with the chickpeas.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Kale: While the chickpeas cook, mince the garlic. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic until golden and fragrant. Add the chopped, de-stemmed kale and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted and a vibrant dark green. Remove from heat.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Taste the chickpeas and add more peanut sauce if desired. Serve the peanut chickpeas over a bed of cooked jasmine rice. Top with the sautéed kale and slices of creamy avocado. Drizzle additional peanut sauce on top for extra flavor.
  5. Enjoy: Mix all components as you eat or savor each element separately for a delightful, healthy meal.

Notes

  • The peanut sauce can be homemade or store-bought; thicker sauce works best to coat the chickpeas well.
  • De-stemming kale removes the tough stems, making it easier to chew and digest.
  • Feel free to adjust the peanut sauce quantity to suit your taste preference and dietary needs.
  • Jasmine rice adds a subtle floral aroma, but you may substitute with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier, fiber-rich option.
  • Optional toppings such as chopped peanuts, fresh lime juice, or chili flakes can enhance the flavor profile.
