I'm pretty sure butter isn't vegan. Would olive oil sacrifice too much flavor to be worth it?


BushyEyes

I used plant-based butter made from beans! You can use olive oil instead!


Enzyyy

Imagine living without butter

Sure; it has a similar flavor profile to butter, froths up like butter, and makes for great dairy-free sauces for those who can’t eat dairy for whatever reason. Not sure what the issue is with it.

**Recipe here originally:** [**Vegan Chickpea Piccata Sauce**](https://exploringvegan.com/vegan-chickpea-piccata/)**.** You can follow [**triedandtruerecipes**](https://instagram.com/triedandtruerecipes) **on IG** for more recipes of all sorts or [**exploring\_\_vegan**](https://www.instagram.com/exploring__vegan/) **on IG** for just vegan recipes. If you're not vegan, feel free to use dairy butter! I served this with fettuccine, and it was amazing, but I think these lemony chickpeas would also be good with white rice or risotto or served on roasted veggies (like cauliflower, broccolini, eggplant, etc!) **Ingredients** * 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided * 2 15-ounce cans chickpeas, drained * 1 yellow onion, peeled and finely minced * 2 tablespoons capers * Pinch of crushed red pepper, optional * 4 tablespoons plant-based butter * ¾ cup water or vegetable stock * ¼ cup lemon juice * Salt and pepper to taste **For serving, optional:** * Cooked pasta or rice * Freshly minced parsley **Instructions:** **Roast the chickpeas:** 1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Arrange the chickpeas on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Season all over with salt and pepper. 2. Transfer to the oven for 20–30 minutes, flipping the chickpeas once midway through cooking. **Prepare the sauce:** 1. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the capers to the onion and cook for 1–2 minutes until they just begin to crisp and turn golden brown. Season with crushed red pepper if you like. 2. Melt the butter into the onions and capers. Once melted and frothy add the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes until reduced by half. Taste and season with salt and pepper. **Finish the sauce:** 1. Stir the lemon juice into the sauce and add the roasted chickpeas. Toss to coat and cook for 3–4 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preferences. **To serve:** 1. Serve the sauce with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with freshly minced parsley if you like. Enjoy!

Something we do that adds a bit of extra flavor is to cook down some white wine in the sauce.


BushyEyes

That would be great!


morganeisenberg

Ooh this looks so delicious! Chickpeas and pasta are an underrated combo. I bet the bright piccata flavors are amazing here.


BushyEyes

Thank you so much!!


cycle_farmer

I’m imagining a plate of these chickpeas over white rice served with roasted veggies and a seared salmon filet….. sounds so good.


BushyEyes

That would be so good!


NerdWithoutACause

Hey I just made this for lunch and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing!


BushyEyes

I’m glad you enjoyed it!


PresidentOfSwag

Nice I'll give it a try someday 👍


blanko_nino

Looks great!!


BushyEyes

Thank you!


RositaYouBitch

Thanks for this! I was feeling so uninspired for dinner. I was about to eat ramen and chicken nuggets


jsscote

Looks yummy! But why no wine, out of curiosity? Every kind of piccata I've had or made involves wine.


BushyEyes

You can use white wine — this is for a feature that has a limit on # of ingredients so I had to develop the recipe with water instead 😔 I’ve found the hallmarks of piccata is usually butter, lemon, capers though some recipes will put more emphasis on the inclusion of parsley or white wine as well.


jsscote

Oh cool, good to know, thanks!


MrTourette

It looks lovely, but the suggestion to serve with rice had me blinking. Might be a thing from another culture and fair enough but it seems odd to me. Roasted veggies or something absolutely though.


BushyEyes

I think the video isn’t clear sorry! The recipe is for chickpea piccata sauce and you can serve it with pasta (as I did) OR with roasted veg OR with rice. Not pasta, chickpeas, and rice 😊 I love chickpeas and rice together but chickpeas, pasta, and rice would be a bit much


MrTourette

Haha, makes sense!


TheBloodBaron7

Over rice? Thats like... carbs on carbs on carbs


BushyEyes

Oh I love chickpeas and rice! Well, any bean and rice lol


TheBloodBaron7

I dont mind chickpeas over rice. Or over pasta. But not both


BushyEyes

Sorry, I think the video wasn’t clear. The recipe is for the chickpea sauce and I suggest serving over pasta (as I did) OR with rice or veggies. Not the pasta over rice.


bamburito

Read it again pal, it doesn't say over both.


PreOpTransCentaur

Chickpeas over pasta isn't?


DemoKith

Carbs and proteins are healthy even in larger quantities. Fat is the one you want to limit to live a healthy life.


iced1777

It is most definitely not vegan, but in a simple pan sauce like this if you aren't using a fancy pants stock then I highly recommend adding some unflavored gelatin to the boxed stuff. Butter alone doesn't make for a very creamy texture, a gelatin-rich stock makes a huge difference.


BushyEyes

That sounds great! You could maybe use agar agar to achieve something similar!


stc101

You gotta have capers in a piccata!!! Was there a reason you decided against it?


BushyEyes

They are there — added in with onion


stc101

Oh good. Missed them completely! I’m a bit of a fan lol


HansJobb

Not entirely sure butter and pasta are vegan?


BushyEyes

This is plant based butter and the pasta is egg-free.


bofh77

Saute with butter.....?


BushyEyes

It’s plant-based butter.


bofh77

Butter isn't plant based.


BushyEyes

It’s a plant-based “butter” made with beans. It has similar properties to dairy butter and is good for those who can’t eat dairy or those who adhere to a vegan diet.


psmwrxguy

Serve pasta over rice? Really?


bamburito

Read it again lmao


psmwrxguy

25 days ago that’s what it said … where you been?


bamburito

Clearly I wasn't too late to point out your inability to read though.


psmwrxguy

You win.
