Really love this nutritious sandwich for a delicious healthy lunch. Ingredients that one is most likely to have in the cupboard and relatively quick and easy to put together. I had it on the Sourdough bread that I now make (started during Covid)😋
Have copied and pasted the ingredients and method below so that it will be easier to see 🤔
Brain-Building Chickpea Sandwich
Ingredients:
Sandwich
1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
¼ cup roasted, unsalted sunflower seeds
3 tablespoons vegan mayo (sub tahini for a more earthy, nutty flavor)
½ teaspoon dijon or spicy mustard
¼ cup chopped red onion
2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
Pinch each salt and pepper
4 pieces rustic bread, lightly toasted
Sliced avocado, onion, tomato and lettuce for serving (optional)
Lemon Tahini Herb Sauce
¼ cup tahini
1 garlic clove, minced
½ lemon, juiced
¼ cup hot water to thin
2 tablespoons chopped dill
Salt to taste
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients for the lemon tahini herb sauce and chill ahead of time.
Add chickpeas to a mixing bowl and lightly mash with a fork for texture.
Add sunflower seeds, mayo, mustard, red onion, dill, salt and pepper to chickpeas and mix with a spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Toast bread and prepare any other sandwich toppings you desire (tomato, onion, lettuce).
Scoop a healthy amount of filling onto two of the pieces of bread, add desired toppings and sauce, and top with other two slices of bread.
