INSTRUCTIONS

1 Place onion, carrot, and celery in food processor. Pulse until coarsely chopped; set aside. Pulse mushrooms in food processor until coarsely chopped. Remove and set aside. Pulse chickpeas in food processor just until chopped; set aside.
2 Heat oil in large deep skillet on medium-high heat. Add onion mixture. Cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and chickpeas. Cook and stir 5 minutes longer or until softened.
