Easy-peasy 100% plant-based dinner the whole family will love. Or why not invite some friends too? They are quick to make and don't require much cooking time or skills. If you are one of my non-plant-based munchers, why not give this recipe a try on this beautiful "Meatless Monday?" You won't regret serving this to your table guests.

I could go for another one right now. Unfortunately, there were no leftovers so I will have to come up with something else for tonight's dinner. Well actually I should almost start cooking right now, but let me quickly share this lovely recipe with you.

Feels good to be back in my own kitchen after being on a house hunt for the past week. I went down to the coast and Cambodian places that serve yummy vegan food are very scares.... I must admit, there were a few cheat moments and I had some cheese here and there. But all in all, I did well in ordering vegan food everywhere I went. Missed my green smoothies the most though!

But stunning spot on earth. can't wait to move down there. One more month! Hope you guys have some wild and happy plans for the near future too.

Hi my dear! What a great dish you make! It looks so yummy and healthy too, i like chickpeas, always i boil it and i eat them with salt and cumin and chili powder, this vegan dish very good with the cashew sour cream and especially when you add some herbs like origano, it give an excellent flavor to our dish.

Hi gorgeous. I'm with you. I love chickpeas with cumin and chili powder too. So yum. Going to the market tomorrow to pick up some veggies to make a plant-based tajine ;) Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Love the recipe and you have lots of flavor there with the herb mix. I love chickpeas!

Thanks, Tess! Vegan food needs a lot of herbs to make it taste good. Meat or other animal products bring a lot of flavor to a dish and a lot of herbs make up for the flavor loss. That's why the Mexican and Indian kitchen are the inspiration of many of the vegan dishes I make. Thanks for your comment. Have a lovely day!
