Chickpea 'Tuna' Sandwiches

I love an Albacore Tuna sandwich every so often and these mashed 'chickpea' sandwiches make quite a good alternative. A food processor makes these quick and simple to make, however watch out for that serrated blade. If you don't have a food processor, you can easily use a fork to slightly mash the chickpeas. 

bread of choice

1 can chickpeas

1/2 lemon

1-3 Tablespoons olive oil

1 Tablespoon parsley

1 Tablespoon cilantro

1 small stick celery

1/4 red onion

2 green onions

Sea salt & Black Pepper to taste

Sandwich toppings like: dill pickle slices, tomato, cucumber, shredded red cabbage & lettuce, lemon juice

Method

Drain the chickpeas and pulse a few times in a food processor to get a slighlly mashed texture, but not as mushy as hummus. Carefully, set aside in a large bowl.

Add to the chickpeas: juice of 1/2 lemon, 1 Tablespoon olive oil, finely diced parsley, cilantro, celery, red onion and green onion.

Mix ingredients well. Taste to adjust seasoning and add more olive oil if it's too dry.
