Method

Vegan Chicken Preparation

Prepare the Chickpeas

In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add Seasonings

Add nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until combined.

Shape and Cook

Form the mixture into small patties or nuggets. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Wild Rice & Black Beans Preparation

Cook Wild Rice

In a medium saucepan, combine the wild rice and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the rice is tender.

Prepare Black Beans

In a separate pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and black pepper, and stir in lime juice.

Combine and Serve

Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and stir in chopped cilantro. Serve the wild rice and black beans on a plate alongside the vegan chicken patties.
