Braised Cauliflower with Chickpeas

This is a recipe from my mom. This vegan friendly dish is high in fiber and protein.  This recipe is fast and easy and requires minimal ingredients. You can eat it as main dish or as side dish. You can eat is as a stew or serve it on top of a whole grain-I would suggest an ancient grain like quinoa.
