Recipe: Curried Quinoa Side Dish with Chickpeas

Gluten Free Curried Quinoa Side Dish Recipe with Chickpeas

With just enough spice and packed full of nutrition, this Curried Quinoa and Chickpeas Side Dish is gluten free, vegan, healthy and seriously delicious. A great meal prep recipe to make ahead for lunch or dinner during a busy week.


Life has been a little bit crazy lately.

Work has been crazy busy, we're in the final planning stages for our first floor renovations, I've been busy choosing finishes and going from one side of Sydney to the other searching for items, our kitchen design changed for the 4th time and we're trying to keep up with friends and family.

It's kind of left me feeling like I've been chasing my tail. So whilst last week it was great that I had HelloFresh and didn't think about dinner, I've been making big batches of make ahead lunches to freeze for busy days or a quick dinner when I don't feel like cooking.

And this is my new favourite!

Let me tell you about it >>
