Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter 28 g, unsalted
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- ½ medium yellow onion diced, or white onion
- 2 ribs celery diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 2 oz cans chickpeas drained and rinsed, 400 g cans
- 1 oz can fire-roasted tomatoes 400 g
- 1 cup heavy cream 236 mL
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese 55 g, shredded
- 4 green onions sliced
- rice to serve
- bread to serve
Instructions
- Rice: If serving with rice, start cooking that now.
- Flavor Base: Melt 2 Tbsp unsalted butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add 1 green bell pepper, ½ medium yellow or white onion, 2 ribs celery, and 2 cloves garlic. Cook until very soft, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Fillings: Stir in 2 Tbsp cajun seasoning, 2 14-oz cans chickpeas, and 1 14-oz can fire-roasted tomatoes. Cover and bring to a gentle simmer for 10 minutes.
- Finish: Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese, and 4 green onions (sliced). Serve warm over rice or with crusty bread!
Notes
- Any leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container. When you want to reheat it, I would add a splash of vegetable broth or water and reheat it on the stove top in small pot. The microwave will also work in a pinch.
