- Make the Peanut Sauce: Add all of the peanut sauce ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Slowly add warm water one tablespoon at a time, until a pourable sauce is achieved.
- Make the Chickpeas: Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-hight heat. Add 2 tsp oil or water then add the chickpeas, peppers and shallots. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are tender and chickpeas are golden brown.
