I have a rule in my house: dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes during the week. This recipe is ready in 23 minutes flat!

A time saver is using canned chickpeas instead of soaking- just rinse off the salt contained in the liquid. My (no longer) secret sauce is made from olive oil, tamari sauce, maple syrup, garlic and nutritional yeast. Topped over my favorite grain mixture of brown rice, barley and spelt from President’s Choice Blue Menu.
