Instructions
1.
To a small mixing bowl add the onions, cilantro, lime zest and juice, maple syrup, oil and a generous pinch of salt. Use clean hands to massage the onions to help encourage them to begin softening. Cover the bowl and place in the fridge to marinate while you prepare the chickpeas.
2.
Set a large skillet over medium low heat, then add the oil to heat through. When hot add the smashed garlic and sauté for 3 mins or until the outside starts to get slightly golden in color.
3.
Transfer the cooked garlic to a blender cup with the chipotle peppers, add in your coconut milk, chipotle peppers, maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, cumin, sazón and orange zest. Blend until completely smooth, then set aside.
4.
To the same pan, add in your chickpeas and spread them out evenly to cover the surface of the pan. Allow the chickpeas to cook undisturbed for 3 mins, stir well then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and cook again undisturbed for another 3 mins.
5.
Add in your onions and peppers with a pinch of salt then continue to sauté for 4-5 mins until cooked through.
6.
Pour in your sauce then stir well until the chickpeas and peppers are fully coat. Bring to a low simmer then allow to cook for 15 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, then serve with toasted pita or over your favorite grains like rice and top with some of the marinated onions and enjoy.
