Unlike the baos, this is definitely a meal you can make on a weeknight. I can personally vouch for it being a satisfying post gym supper. The peanut butter and the chickpeas will fulfil all your protein needs. A much better idea than Brittany’s on the Apprentice – ‘alcoholic protein drinks’ The horror. The recipe was on BBC Good Food.
