BY: SASHA WILLIAMS FOOD MEDICINE LIFE Vegan Chickpea Curry Getting simple recipes down that make the cut when it comes to bodybuilding isn’t an easy task. My quick “HIIT” and “Bikini Bodybuilding” recipes are meant to inspire anyone on a strict diet or preparing for a bodybuilding competition. You can find these recipes easily on my website: www.foodmedicinelife.com/ blog . For great Vegan recipes that focus on using all your favourite foods as medicine, check out my Rx notes and body friendly recipes in my new cookbook “Cures In The Kitchen” on E-book or Softcover www.foodmedicinelife.com/shop. This meal in particular is great for pre-workout on leg days in the last 6 weeks or so of prep – be sure to adjust your macros for your body and goals. Ingredients: • 3 cups canned/soaked chickpeas (Keep the liquid from the beans) • 1 tsp curry • 1 tsp turmeric • 1 tsp coriander • 1 tsp onion powder • 1/4 cup diced onion • 2 large cloves garlic • 1 tsp coconut oil (I like the full flavour one) Heat oil in pan on medium heat, add onions and garlic. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add powdered spices and mix well. Add beans with liquid. Stir well and cook covered for 7-10 minutes. There should be at least 1/2 cup of liquid in there. If not, add some water. Remove from heat after most of the liquid is dissolved. Top with my Sriracha Salt recipe on my website & plate on a bed (1/2 cup) of white basmati rice. Enjoy!
