Beets and chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans) work well together.
This dish is really easy to prepare and works well as a quick meal by itself or as a side dish.
The recipe can be made using cans, but now that I’ve discovered Melissa’s Steamed Beets and Garbanzo Beans in the produce department I prefer to use them.
They have fresh flavor, good texture and are non-GMO.
If you’re not a goat cheese fan, another cheese can be substituted – cotija and feta work well for a different taste.
