The slow cooker is a life saver on the days where you don’t have the time or energy to spend in the kitchen. This butter tofu and chickpeas recipe is perfect for those days. Rich, balanced and guilt-free, this recipe is sure to be a crowd pleaser with minimal effort.

For those who are looking to incorporate more plant-based meals into their lives, this is a great recipe to dive in to as it is super easy to make and the flavors are similar to butter chicken you’ve probably had as take-out from your local Indian restaurant. The slow cooked tofu has time to soak up the flavorful creamy sauce so there will be no complaints about blandness there and the protein from the chickpeas and tofu combined with brown basmati will ensure no one goes hungry!

Healthy, vegan, protein-packed and gluten-free, you will thank yourself at dinner time for taking the meager 10 minutes earlier in the day to create this savory rich dish.
