Caribbean Carnival Chickpea and Pepper Skillet

Product: Caribbean Carnival spice blend

Total time: 25 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 2 bell peppers (any colour), sliced

• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 2 cans (540 mL each) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 1½ tbsp Caribbean Carnival spice blend

• 125 mL canned coconut milk

• Juice of 1 lime, plus extra wedges to serve

• A small handful of cilantro or parsley (optional)

• Cooked rice, to serve

Steps

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until softened and a little charred.

2. Stir in the garlic and Caribbean Carnival and cook for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.

3. Add the chickpeas and toss to coat. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes so they pick up some colour.

4. Pour in the coconut milk and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly thickened. Take the pan off the heat and squeeze in the lime juice.

5. Taste and add another pinch of Caribbean Carnival if you want more heat. Scatter with herbs if using and serve over rice, with lime wedges.
