Sweet & Sour Garbanzo Beans
What’s tastier than take-out, speedier than delivery, and downright guaranteed to knock your socks off? A vegan twist on this take-out classic. Sweet and Sour Garbanzo Beans are speedy, saucy , and a little spicy.
Ingredients
½ cup orange juice
2 – 3 tbsp tomato paste
½ tbsp corn starch (arrowroot / tapioca starch works too)
2 tbsp water
⅕ tbsp apple cider vinegar
⅕ tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (gluten-free or regular)
2 tsp brown sugar
1 – 2 tsp Sriracha
1 x 15 oz can Lodi Garbanzo Beans, drained and rinsed
cooked white rice
steamed veggies: broccoli, asparagus, green beans etc
sliced green onions – garnish
toasted sesame seeds – garnish
Method
1. In a medium bowl combine orange juice, tomato paste, corn starch, water, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and brown sugar. For the Sriracha, add 1 tsp for a medium heat and 2+ tsp for a spicier sauce. Whisk well and set aside.
2. Add sauce to a medium pan or skillet and set to medium heat. Allow sauce to cook and bubble, for 10 minutes, stirring often to evenly distribute heat and prevent sticking. Once sauce has thickened, add garbanzo beans and reduce heat to low. Cover and allow to cook an additional 10 minutes until the sauce is nice and thick and the garbanzo beans are warmed though.
3. Top with sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds and serve with your choice of veggies and grains.
