Chickpea Scramble

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/2 yellow onion, chopped
    1/2 cup chopped white mushrooms
    1/2 cup frozen corn
    1 can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
    2 cups cooked brown rice
    1 red bell pepper, sliced
    2-3 tomatoes, chopped
    2 tablespoons tamari (I use low sodium)
    1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
    2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
    1-2 tablespoons non-hydrogenated margarine
    2 teaspoons Tofutti non-hydrogenated sour cream
    1 clove garlic, diced (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

My family tries not to O.D. on soy, so I've been trying to come up with hearty, high protein breakfast recipes that don't require tofu.  I made this Chickpea Scramble this morning, and it was awesome.

Notes:  My husband doesn't like spice, so I went really easy on the Tabasco (you can't even taste it in the end product), but if you like spice you could easily double or triple the amount of Tabasco I used.  Also, Tofutti has just come out with a non-hydrogenated sour cream, so that isn't a typo.  Hurray!  My favorite non-hydrogenated margarine is Earth Balance.

Drain chickpeas and mash in a bowl with the tamari, Tabasco, and nutritional yeast.  Set aside.

Saute onion and mushroom (and garlic if using) in margarine for 3-5 minutes on medium heat, covered.

Add bell peppers, chickpea mash, and corn.  Cover and cook about 3 minutes.

Add rice, tomatoes, and Tofutti sour cream and stir everything together.  Cover and cook until everything is piping hot.

Serves: 2-3

Preparation time: 10-15 minutes

I didn't have any bell peppers in the house, but it still came out great!

I LOVE this recipe!  Very delicious.  I consider this a staple.  I'll often make a big batch of it and then freeze it in single portions for quick weekday breakfasts. 

I do make a few changes, though.  Because I don't have tamari, I use Braggs.  I omit the Tabasco and sour cream, and sometimes I'll sub olive oil for the margarine.  To season, I use lots of Spike.  Yum!!! 

This recipe is good by itself--a complete meal.  Thanks for the recipe.

what a nice change from the typical tofu scramble. I had to make a few substitutions (I added spinach to the mix) and it was excellent!

This was absolutely delicious! I added about 1 1/2 cup of steamed kale and more nutritional yeast. YUM!! Great idea to get out of the tofu scramble rut and eat less. soy. Props! Smiley

I would never have thought of doing this, but it's really good!  It's nice to branch out from tofu scramble once in a while (even though it's so delicious).  This recipe has also inspired me to get more creative with my oatmeal and to make other bean scrambles.  Thanks!  Smiley

This was delicious. I didn't have nutritional yeast or tabasco sauce. So I added cayenne pepper and placed a slice of veggie cheese on top. I also added spinach. It turned out great. I can imagine this would also be great as a lunch in a burrito.

For some reason I had a hard time eating this.  But when I wrapped it up in a tortilla and added more sour cream it was awesome and definitely filling!  Next time though I think I will cut back a little bit on the tamari.

this was awesome. it would pair wonderfully with potatoes.

I left out the corn and mushrooms (my boyfriend is a picky eater) and it was still tasty.

I made this for breakfast this morning along with some hash brown potatoes, it was great!!! I did add the garlic and tabasco sauce because we love spicey food. I like tofu scramble, but this is a really nice alternative. Thanks for the recipe.

Does anyone know how long this keeps in the fridge if you leave out the rice? I really like it but I hardly have time to make breakfast and I was thinking I could just make a few days' worth at a time to warm up later.

 Tongue this recipe was ok... i added turmeric to make it appear more yellow and twice the tofutti, that's all i changed... the recipe by itself was not that wonderful but it tasted really good in a breakfast burrito with flour tortillas, ketchup, "sour cream", and "sausage" (see pic)... so i gave it 4 out of 5 stars... i liked the tofu scramble more but I can only eat so much soy in a day before I start to feel nauseous.

Hot damn, that was yummy. I didn't have all the right ingredients, so I fried up cubed yukon golds, zucchini, and red onion and stirred cumin, garlic salt and the tabasco into the chickpeas. The tabasco sauce really is a must have ingredient, she was spot on with that one. It added such a tasty little kick to the dish. I used ketchup as a condiment and I wolfed the meal down in about two seconds.
SO GOOD! Smitten
