Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, sweet paprika, and smoked paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained chickpeas and mix well to coat them in the spicy onion mixture.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk (or cream). Bring to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 10-15 minutes.
  5. Taste the paprikash and add salt and pepper as desired.
  6. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot over rice or noodles.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. This recipe also freezes well for later enjoyment. If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute it with sour cream or a plant-based cream.
