Cook this recipe
- canned chickpeas-2 cans
- gluten-free cayenne pepper hot sauce-1/2 cup
- extra-virgin olive oil-2 tablespoons
- apple cider vinegar-1 tablespoon
- garlic powder-1 teaspoon
- smoked paprika-1/2 teaspoon
- fine sea salt-1/2 teaspoon
- romaine lettuce hearts-3 heart
- carrots-2 medium
- celery stalks-3 stalk
- red bell pepper-1 large
Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then cut the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper as listed; separate the romaine hearts into sturdy lettuce cups, wash, and dry well.
Keep fingers clear of the Chef’s knife while cutting the vegetables.
Wash hands, cutting board, and knife before and after handling fresh vegetables.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the hot sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt until you have a smooth buffalo-style sauce with even seasoning.
Simmer chickpeas with the sauce in a 12-inch deep skillet over medium heat for 6–8 minutes. Stir often and lightly mash some chickpeas until hot throughout and slightly thickened.
Stir hot sauce gently to reduce splattering from the skillet.
Divide chickpeas into shallow containers and refrigerate promptly. Keep dry romaine and vegetables separate from warm chickpeas. Allow about 10 minutes initial cooling, then continue chilling as needed.
Refrigerate meal-prep containers within 2 hours of cooking.
At serving, spoon chickpeas into lettuce cups and add crunchy vegetables, serving extras alongside. Keep prepared food at 40°F or below, seal once chilled and use within 4 days.
