Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 200 g Cooked beans
  • 1/2 Scoop pea-protein (We like Pulsin)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 3/4 Medium-sized onion
  • 2 Garlic cloves
  • 3 Medium-sized tomatoes
  • 20 g Coriander
  • 2 Bird-eye chilies
  • 1 teaspoon Vegan stock powder
  • 2 tbsp Water (to mix with the stock powder)
  • 1/2 Cup Water (to mix with the sauce)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat a pan at medium fire and add the olive oil
  • Dice the onion and add it to the pan, leave it there for about 5 minutes
  • Meanwhile, dice the garlic and the tomatoes and do the following two instructions:
  • Chop the coriander and the chilies
  • Mix the water with the stock powder
  • Add the garlic, the tomatoes, the coriander and the chilies to the pan. Leave them to fry for about 6 minutes. Then start mashing the tomatoes and the chilies for another
  • Turn off the pan and add the contents to a bowl and mix the 1/2 cup of Water
  • Add the pea protein and the mix in a blender
  • Add half of the mix to a bowl and half of the beans. Then decorate with onion rings. Do the same in another bowl for the second portion!

Notes

  • Calories are approximate, depends on the beans, the actual size of the veggies, etc.
  • This is a high-protein meal that has relatively low carbs. It has approximately 14 g of protein per portion
  • Do not add more pea protein, seriously... the taste is not great after more than one scoop!
  • If you do not like pea protein, perhaps try with hemp protein, I find it equally delicious! but some might feel it a bit sweet!
  • Careful with the chilies, I like it even more hot, I add around 9 chilies, but I am Mexican!
