:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.
Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

Vegan meal I eat all the time.
Just straight up pan fried chickpeas.
Drain 1 or 2 cans of chickpeas and rinse with water, allow to drain.
Heat up a frying pan on medium high heat. Add some oil. A tablespoon of canola or just some spray oil to keep the calories down.
When its hot dump the chickpeas into the pan.
Season with salt and pepper. I always add nooch at this point. You could also add : paprika, garlic powder, cumin, turmeric, black salt, cayenne or red pepper flakes. Any spice you like really.
Cook on med high for about 10 minutes, flip and turn about every minute. You want them to be dry, and starting to be crispy. If you want a very crispy outside try more heat and oil.
You can basically say they're done at anything, they are already cooked so you just need to warm them .
If you are feeling fancy, about 1 minute before you are done finely chop some herbs and mix them in. Mint, basil, rosemary, oregano. cilantro is my favorite. Don't burn your herbs, put them in late in the process.
Pour into a plate or bowl and you are good to eat. If you want to class it up add sliced avocado, or more salt and lemon juice, or your favorite sauce like sweet chili.
Very easy meal, 12 minutes tops, a can of chickpeas should be about a dollar. Endless options for variety.

Wow veganism is so hard.
Sometimes I get overconfident about how easy it is to be vegan. I tried eating a can out chickpeas straight out of the can but i forgot they were in brine and the salt made me throw up.
But if you don't drink salt water you can eat up to three cans per day before the fiber just becomes a problem. At least thats my experience
Next time, rinse them in a colander and you should be okay. You can also put nooch on them and get that sweet b12
