Reggae Reggae Chickpeas (Vegan)

©
This is a recipe for a kind of spicy version of baked beans, using the original Reggae Reggae Sauce (as I had an opened bottle which needed using up!). Although I used chickpeas, this would work well with other pulses too.

Serves 4
  • 1 tin of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red onion, diced finely 
  • 4 tbsp tomato purée
  • 4 tbsp Reggae Reggae Sauce
  • 125ml/½ cup boiling water or hot vegetable stock
  • ½ tsp dried or 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • around 450g/1 lb chopped, or sliced seasonal vegetables (e.g. bell pepper, courgette, sweet corn, carrot, etc)
  • 1-2 tsp mild chilli powder
Gently fry the onion in a little oil until softened.
Stir in the tomato purée, Reggae Reggae sauce and thyme and cook for a further minute.
Add the chickpeas and water and stir.
Simmer for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened up. 

Meanwhile, roast or fry some chopped seasonal vegetables, with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with the mild chilli powder.

Serve the chickpeas and vegetables with rice or in wraps.


Alternatives:
If you can't find Reggae Reggae sauce, use a spicy jerk or barbecue sauce instead.

  1. This sounds ideal for when I get home from work and want something quick and easy, and I love chickpeas! Thanks! I've never tried Reggae Reggae sauce - one of those things I look at in Tescos and think - 'what do I do with it though?'!

    1. Haha, I bought a bottle and then had the same thought! I now add a glug to various things like chillis and stews to add a spicy kick.
