                                Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
 - ½ green bell pepper
 - 7 oz green beans trimmed
 - 30 oz chickpeas 2 15-oz cans
 - 1 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
 - brown rice cooked, to serve
 
For the sweet and sour sauce
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
 - ¼ cup tamari
 - ¼ cup rice vinegar
 - 1 tbsp tomato paste
 - ½ cup water
 
Instructions
- Add the garlic to a non-stick frying pan and sauté for around 2 minutes. Then, add the green bell pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the green beans and sauté for around 3 minutes more, until softened.
 - Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by stirring together the maple syrup, tamari, rice vinegar, tomato paste and water.
 - Add the chickpeas, sauce and cornflour to the saucepan. Cook on a low-medium heat for around 5 minutes, until the sauce had thickened. Serve immediately with brown rice.
 
Notes
- Serving Suggestions: This is great served with brown rice, quinoa, or couscous. I also like to serve it with a scoop of steamed edamame.
 - Optional Garnishes: Sesame Seeds, Crushed Peanuts, Chopped Cilantro
