Vegan Tuna Sandwich With Chickpeas Recipes

VEGAN TUNA SANDWICH WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Crumble the dried seaweed with your hands and let it soak in a shallow bowl of water for about 5 minutes (1/2 cup of water should be fine). Drain and press the water out with your hands.
• Mash the chickpeas with a fork until they have a flaky texture. Stir in the celery, mayonnaise, dill, seaweed, lemon juice, and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Serve on whole wheat bread together with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and red onions.

"NO-TUNA" SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas in a mixing bowl and mash with a fork, leaving only a few beans whole.
• Add tahini, mustard, maple syrup, red onion, celery, pickle, capers, salt and pepper, and sunflower seeds (if using) to mixing bowl. Mix to incorporate. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
• Toast bread if desired, and prepare any other desired sandwich toppings (such as lettuce, tomato, and onion).
• Scoop a healthy amount of the chickpea mixture (about ½ cup) onto one slice of bread, add desired toppings and top with second slice of bread. Repeat for additional sandwiches.

VEGAN CHICKPEA "TUNA"

Steps:

• 1. Drain Chickpeas and add them to a mixing bowl and start mashing with a fork or masher.
• 2. Add in other ingredients and mash.
• 3. This process can take a few minutes. If you want it thicker, you can leave it half-mashed so that the chickpeas are somewhat intact. Or if you want more of a tuna consistency, mash until you get a smoother texture.
• 4. Once you're happy with your desired vegan "Tuna" simply serve it on sourdough bread, in a sandwich, or in a salad.

'CHICKPEA OF THE SEA' TUNA SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Serve on bread of choice, along with some leafy greens and the optional 1/4 sheet of nori.
• You can also serve on bibb or romaine lettuce like a wrap, instead of using bread, for a gluten-free meal like shown below.
• Try serving with sliced fresh scoopable veggies like cucumber, red bell peppers, zucchini, etc.
• Lastly, pair with your favorite crackers.

THE ULTIMATE VEGAN 'TUNA' SANDWICH WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Place rinsed and drained chickpeas in a big mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher to 'smash' into smaller pieces. You can also use a food processor, which will be a lot quicker. Just ensure you don't over-process the chickpeas to retain that chunky texture.
• Add the rest of the tuna ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix until well combined. Season with salt & pepper.
• In a separate small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork. Mix in lime juice, salt & pepper and set aside.
• To assemble the sandwich, spread mashed avocado evenly on the bread slices. Layer with lettuce leaves, tuna mixture, cucumber slices and add the second slice of bread on top. Voila!

VEGAN TUNA SALAD SANDWICH

Steps:

• Pulse the garbanzo beans in a food processor. They don't need a lot of processing, just enough to get that flaky "fish" texture. Pulse 3-4 times, then scrape down the bowl and do a few more, if needed.
• In a mixing bowl, mash the avocado into a paste using a fork. Add the rest of the ingredients, including the blended chickpeas and stir until fully incorporated.
• Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• Enjoy as is or scoop onto your favourite sandwich bread topped with sprouts, pickles, onion and lettuce!

CHICKPEA TUNA SANDWICH

Steps:

• Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Mash them in a bowl with a potato masher or fork.
• Add the remaining ingredients and combine well. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days and make up sandwiches as you need for the week.
• I really like topping my chickpea tuna sandwiches with lettuce, tomato, and avocado, but feel free to add whatever you like!
