| | | The bowl is my favorite piece of dinnerware. Likewise, I feel that any meal you can eat out of a bowl is bound to be amazing — I'm talking soups, stews, concoctions that you just throw together using whatever's in your pantry.

January 18, 2026 • 2 min read | | | |  | | | | Vegan chickpea and turmeric rice bowls | | A quarter of a can of chickpeas boasts about 9 grams of protein and 7.5 g of fiber, not to mention small amounts of potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and other vitamins and minerals. You can also pair them with rice, quinoa, or seeds to create a complete protein profile, meaning all essential amino acids are present. And good news! This recipe calls for brown rice. | | The most time consuming part is waiting for the rice to cook. But in the meantime, you can pickle some onions and prepare your tahini.
