Grilled Chickpeas With Kale & Red Peppers

Makes 4 meal-sized portions

This is a wonderful vegetarian meal for the BBQ. It is great for a speedy weekday supper meal and also works as a great leftover for lunch, or prepare it at home, and pack it to make while camping! This meal is not only loaded with flavour but also nutrition since it is high in vitamin C, iron, calcium, protein and fibre.

What you need:

2 cans (19 oz or 540ml each can) chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained and rinsed
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large sweet onion, chopped into long slices
4 tbsp olive oil
2 red peppers, chopped into long slices
6 cups kale, chopped into bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper to taste

How you prepare:

1. Heat BBQ and prepare a greased BBQ basket or pan.

2. Meanwhile, mix together chickpeas, garlic, onion, red peppers and olive oil in a bowl and add to BBQ basket and place on the grill. Stir regularly until chickpeas are slightly browned, onions and red peppers are softened and grilled.

3. When almost ready to serve add kale and stir constantly until the kale is slightly wilted. Serve immediately either on its own, or with garlic toast, pita bread or over rice.
