Instructions

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and a pinch of salt and cook until translucent. (Sauté in broth for oilfree)
Add the bell pepper, celery and cook for a minute. Add chickpeas and all the ingredients through water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens a bit.
Mash some of the chickpeas. Taste and adjust salt, spice and sweet. Add salt to taste, if the chickpeas were not salted. At this point you can add in chopped veggies like broccoli, celery, carrots or other crunchy veggies.
Add paprika or cayenne to preference and mix in (optional and not needed if using hot gochujang paste).
Serve in lettuce wraps with cooling veggies as sliced cucumber, shredded carrots or green onion. If the chickpeas are too spicy, serve with creamy dressing as vegan ranch or garlic sauce
