Chickpeas with mushrooms by Stephen Crout

The source I originally saw for this idea suggested that an additional protein is unnecessary to make a complete meal. While that may be true, I like my proteins and insisted upon combining this with some seared scallops. Also, note the use of onion powder.

I made these carrots to be a sweet, vegetable side to go with the Caribbean Pork we made tonight. I wanted something that would be sweet like plantains, and these did the job perfectly.
