Minted Chickpeas and Potato
This is loosely based on a recipe from Afghanistan called Shour Nakhod which I have changed quite a bit to make it my own & to make it even quicker to make & easier! Thank you to my friend Ali for telling me about it.

*Aquafaba – What Is It?
Aquafaba is the thick liquid that results from soaking or cooking legumes, such as chickpeas, in water for an extended period of time. It’s the translucent viscous goop you probably rinse down the drain when you open a can of chickpeas. And, in vegan cooking circles, it’s become the silver bullet to making airy meringues and expert whiskey sours without any eggs.
