This is easy to make and a nutrient-dense dish.  Cauliflower is part of the cruciferous ^[1] vegetable family providing great amounts of Vitamin C and other antioxidants; like beta-carotene. Cauliflower is well known for its phytonutrient, glucosinolates; which are sulfur-containing compounds. Glucosinolates ^[2] have been well studied and are known to support the cardiovascular, digestive, immune, inflammatory, and detoxification systems.

Chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans, are high in protein, fiber, and essential amino acids. In addition, they are also a good source of magnesium ^[3], vitamin B6, zinc and iron.  When using chickpeas or any bean/legume, I always recommend soaking them for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will improve their digestibility and increase nutrient absorption.  Bon Appétit!
