Scrumptious Tomato-Ginger Chickpeas

This is sooo good for adults and kids. And really healthy, especially good for an immune boost.

Ingredients:
1 14 or 16 ounce can of chickpeas (drained)
2 medium sized fresh tomatoes (diced)
1 inch of fresh ginger (grated)
1 clove of garlic
1/2 small purple onion
sea salt, black pepper to tast
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup of cooked quinoa

Method:
Place chickpeas on low-medium heat, with salt, pepper and cinnamon. While warming up process the tomatoes, ginger, garlic and onion. Stir in quinoa. Wait a minute or two, then add the tomato mixture. Let heat up for 3 minutes or so, and serve. I try to cook the tomato sauce as little as possible to get the benefits of raw veggies and to get extra ginger flavour. But you can cook it longer if that suits your fancy. Serves two. It is really great leftover and cold.
