▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
👉 To fry chickpeas:
1 Can (398ml) of cooked Chickpeas (low sodium) - home cooked chickpeas will be 275g by weight water NOT included
1 to 2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
👉 To cook quinoa:
1 cup Quinoa (190g) - thoroughly washed & drained
2 to 3 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup onion (135g) - chopped
2 teaspoon garlic (3 to 4 cloves of garlic) - chopped/grated Or to taste
2 teaspoon ginger (1/2 inch ginger approx.) - chopped/grated or to taste
3/4 cup (175ml) Strained tomatoes OR passata
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (OPTIONAL)
1 + 1/2 cup (350ml) Water
Salt to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 cup (40g) raisins - finely chopped
1/2 cup (45g) parsley - chopped
▶️ METHOD:
To a heated pan add the cooking oil and chickpeas. Cook on medium high heat until chickpea starts to crisp up (it take about 2 to 3 minutes). Then add paprika, ground black pepper and salt. Fry for another 1 to 2 minutes or until the chickpeas are nicely coated with the spices. Transfer to a plate and set it aside for later. Make sure to use a plate so that the chickpeas are spread out (this will prevent it from getting soggy)
Now to the same pan add some cooking oil, onion and salt. Adding salt will release moisture from the onion and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry on medium-high to high heat (depending on the heat of your stove) just until the onion just starts to caramelize (it will take about 4 to 5 minutes).
As soon as the onion starts to caramelize, add the ginger and garlic. Reduce the heat to medium low and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes or until fragrant.
Next add the strained tomatoes/passata and let it cook for about 2 minutes, in the mean time wash the quinoa thoroughly with water and transfer to the pan along with ground cumin and cayenne pepper. (Cayenne pepper is optional). Increase the heat to medium-high, add water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes or until quinoa is fully cooked.
Uncover and check to see if the quinoa is cooked. It should be cooked by then but if not cook it for a bit longer. Turn off the heat, add parsley, raisins and fried chickpeas and mix well. (Please DO NOT skip the raisin, as it will balance out the tartness of the tomato. Also, it’s important to finely chop the raisins so that it can disintegrate in the dish and you won't even notice it). Check for seasoning. Ready to serve.
This is perfect for meal prep as it stores well in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
- Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa. Also, drain the water properly from the quinoa otherwise it will turn soggy when cooked
-Towards the end of cooking quinoa, if there is still water left in the pan then uncovered and continue cooking for a bit longer to get rid of the excess water
- Be careful when adding ginger because if you add to much of it the dish will turn bitter
- Please DO NOT skip the raisin, it's an important ingredient and will balance out the tartness of the tomato. Also, it’s important that you finely chop the raisins so that it can disintegrate in the dish
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep as it stores well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days
Enjoy!

Tried this today, so good!! I wasn't so sure about the raisins at first, but they definitely added that special something. Great recipe 👍👍👍
sabrina h. - Thank you! Glad you liked it :)
Yummy 😋
I'm also wondering whether raisins will taste good it.
Hi Sabrina. I saw the word chemotherapy and my eyes were drawn in. I hope you recover and get better soon.🙌🏾🙌🏾
May you make a swift recovery and find many enjoyable recipes to delight in
Hello, I am from Bolivia, and I eat QUINOA since I was born, it is a very nutritional food and gives a lot of energy, as everyone knows it is a food originating in the ANDES in South America, that is where I live, in the ANDES.
I consume Quinoa about once a week, and in the way that I like the most, it is to cook the QUINOA as if it were rice, and then make a sauce with onion, tomato, salt and yellow pepper, all prepared with oil in a pan and toast. this sauce for about 20 minutes, and to give it that delicious touch we put a little grated cheese on it.
Hmmm delicious.
Here sometimes we accompany this delicious dish with a little hot pepper, but that depends on each person.
Greetings from BOLIVIA, the land of QUINOA.
If anyone is contemplating on changing to the vegan eating lifestyle; "Food Impromptu" is the blueprint. The simplicity, the ease of this channel is very encouraging and inspiring. 😋❤
Thank you so much! ❤️
I agree. 😊
Love the peaceful piano music in the background. It's not high volume, it's low and peaceful and it was a joy to watch this video. It looks delicious!
Thank you! :)
Agree. It's nice.
Agreed 💯
I’m with you. So nice not to have to listen to jibber jabber for 10 mins
@@FoodImpromptu What's the name of the track/song ?
One tip from me: soak the quinoa in water overnight and rinse it the next day before cooking. This will take away the natural bitterness in the quinoa.
UPDATE: I discovered a new method. You don't even need to soak it. Just put the quinoa in a closed jar or a container with water and shake it VERY WELL for a few seconds. You will notice that the quinoa will form a lot of foam (or froth). Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse it from the froth and then cook it.
Thankyou for sharing 👍
I had no idea. I will definitely adopt this method.
@@ruthhernandez2922 I never liked quinoa because of the bitterness, till I saw a random comment on UA-cam recommends soaking it. I did that and it really worked. I don't taste the bitterness anymore.
I never tasted any bitterness, although I do buy the tri-color quinoa and I’ve never needed to rinse and had no digestive issue because of not rinsing. Maybe it depends what type of quinoa?
Many types of Quiona brands are prewashed
Thank you for such peaceful audibly indulgent video. No loud music and no one is screaming.
I’ve made this recipe soooo many times… it’s my go-to, and the recipe that helped me lose 25 lbs! So filling, tasty, satisfying, and healthy! Love it, thank you for sharing. 😊
So awesome to hear that! Glad you liked it 😊
I want to gain some kilogramms, so mb I look for another dish then 😅
@@einSeev u can still eat it, just increase the portions u eat :)
The power of silent cooking , love it so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Made this on a whim. Had everything bar the ginger but it was really tasty. As a meat eater of nigh on seventy years who is trying to eat more vegetarian and vegan food, this was a winner and will be a staple. Thank you.
Thank you! So glad you liked it :)

Yummy! This looks delish. I like that it has a bit of spices in it, and it's not bland. Thank you for the recipe.❤️
I’m a very average cook and I can make this dish. I would substitute cilantro for parsley though. I loved your background piano music!!!
I delight myself with this relaxing and healthy recipe.
I made this so many times already and it’s one of my favourites! Thank you so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰

Absolutely wonderful! Straight to the point with no constant talking, visually attractive with very pretty calming music, oh and the recipe looks amazing! Thank you will definitely try!
The music was a little too calm
Delicious and healthy
I am not vegan or vegetarian but love quinoa and chick peas. I make this salad and take it for lunch until it’s gone! Love it!
Awesome!! I love quinoa & chick peas combo in salads but this dish takes it to another level. Goes right on top of my must try dishes! ¡Muchas gracias!
Another fantastic recipe thank you for sharing!😊
This dish looks so nice and tasty! Thanks for the lovely idea!🌹
I really enjoy your simple dishes. Many other youtubers use too many spices and steps, which are discouraging. Well, not you :)
You earned a subscriber.
Thank you! 😊
I tried this with dried Turkish apricots since I didn't have any raisins and it was good. They are the same color as the Thompson raisin. I knew that would work because I used them in a Tagine dish, so I gave it a shot in this one
This was another super hit in my household. The raisins are ingenious and totally rounds out the flavors. Thanks for a protein packed recipe!
Thank you! So glad you liked it 😊
Vey soothing to watch
So good combination!
I am a vegetarian and this channel is lovely for me. Being fitness oriented and someone who loves taste, color and nutrition of the food, this channel provides gorgeously nutritious recipes. Thanks from the bottom if my heart!
You’re most welcome! 😊
Thank you for sharing this! Just made it for tonight's dinner and it is AMAZING! Like others have mentioned, I questioned the raisins but man am I glad I kept them in haha! Perfect little sweet touch 👍
Thanks! So glad you liked it 😊
I enjoyed the video and look forward to making this healthy yummy dish 👍🏽
gotta try this!! looks fantastic
Delicious ! I am going to make it this weekend! I do rice with raisins and pine seeds Mediterranean style, but this quinoa with chickpeas looks so yum!
I'm excited to try this recipe. Thanks! It'll be perfect for my protein-rich, real food lifestyle in working on. 🥰
Love the way your video is, right to the point. I’ll try it. Looks delicious!
Definitely will try this. Thanks for sharing.
This is my kind of food and you only used 1 pan!!!! Wonderfully presented. So calming. I'm sure I benefited just by watching. I'll surely give this recipe a try. Thank you for sharing!
I just LOVE your videos!!! Beautiful, relaxing, easy recipes that I can’t wait to try. Thank you!!! ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you! :)
I just made this! You can eat the chickpeas all by themselves as a snack! Delicious 😊
Peace at its Best.❤
Thank you! :)
This is so easy and the most delicious way I’ve ever prepared quinoa. I made this for meal prep and ended up eating half of it in one sitting 🤪 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You’re welcome! So glad you liked it :)
This was very simple to make with no prior prep needed. It was delicious! Personally i couldve used more spice, and i did end up adding more salt. But it was still flavorful. The addition of raisins I was skeptical about but it honestly enhances the dish
I think the portion size in the recipe could be clearer so for me - following the above recipe exactly constitutes 2 meals.
And the aesthetic of the video is lovely.
I love the beautiful gentle music as you cook! So relaxing. What a great dish! Yum
Raisins ! Interesting!
Have to try !
Followed the exact recipe (except I doubled the raisins-yum!). This is so delicious! I will make it often. Thank you!
I am so glad I found your channel! Your style is so laid back and peaceful and your recipes are truly delicious. Thank you so much.
Thank you! 😊

This looks amazing!!
Omg I just finished making this today and it was yummy! I made a few modifications for ex wasn't sure what type of tomatoes to use so used 1/4 c diced tomatoes with some leftover tomato sauce I had; instead of using parsley and raisins I added cilantro and craisins and I must say yummy! Also cooked a lb of black beans so looks like I will have a healthy lunch for the work week! Might try your almond bars later today!
Thank you! So glad you liked it. :)
I have added the link for the strained tomatoes (used in this recipe) in the description box.
