This wholesome one-pot meal is all about simplicity, nourishment, and flavour. Packed with green vegetables and creamy chickpeas, it’s finished with a luscious cashew sauce that’s rich, tangy, and satisfyingly cheesy – all without a drop of dairy.
Chickpeas provide a hearty source of plant-based protein and fibre, helping to keep you full and support healthy digestion. Cashews bring a creamy texture along with healthy fats, magnesium, and a generous boost of protein. Nutritional yeast rounds it all out with a savoury cheesiness and a natural source of B vitamins – including B12, if you’re using a fortified version.
Together, the chickpeas and cashews make this a surprisingly protein-rich dish, especially when paired with a grain like brown rice or quinoa. It’s filling, flavourful, and endlessly adaptable. Add in whatever veg you’ve got lurking in the fridge – kale, spinach, cherry tomatoes – it all works.
Pink or sea salt contains trace minerals, unlike processed table salt, which is stripped of minerals and contains additives like anti-caking agents.
