Vegetarian chickpea sandwich with celery, onions and spices

This Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich is a delightful and nutritious recipe that combines the earthy flavors of chickpeas with the crunchiness of celery and the aromatic essence of spices. It’s a perfect meal for any time of the day, offering a balanced mix of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients.

Ingredients:

2 cups chickpeas
480g
2 stalks celery
260g
2 onions
30g
1/4 cup greek yogurt
60g
1.50 tbsp lemon juice
22g
1.50 tsp dill
1.50g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 tsp ground cumin
3g
1 tsp turmeric powder
2.20g
8 slices whole-wheat bread
220g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chickpeas: If you’re using canned chickpeas, make sure to drain and rinse them thoroughly. If you’re using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender according to the package instructions.
2. Mash the Chickpeas: In a large bowl, add the cooked chickpeas. Use a fork or potato masher to gently mash them until they reach a chunky consistency. It's okay if some of the chickpeas are left whole.
3. Chop the Vegetables: Finely chop the celery and onions. Add them to the bowl with the mashed chickpeas.
4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and turmeric powder until well combined.
5. Combine Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the chickpea and vegetable mixture. Stir everything together until the chickpeas and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the whole-wheat bread slices. Spoon the chickpea mixture onto 4 slices of the bread. Spread it out evenly, then top each with another slice of bread to make a sandwich.
7. Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally, if desired, and serve immediately. You can also toast the bread beforehand for an extra crunch or serve with a side of fresh salad or pickles.

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, you can mash the chickpeas partially with a fork before mixing with other ingredients.

- Toast the whole-wheat bread for extra crunch and flavor.

- If you prefer a bit of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chickpea mixture.

- Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can be added for extra freshness and flavor.

- Refrigerate the chickpea mixture for at least 30 minutes before assembling the sandwiches, allowing the flavors to meld together.

- Serve with a side of fresh vegetables or a light soup for a more complete meal.

Enjoy your Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich, packed with flavor and health benefits. It's a satisfying meal that’s easy to prepare and perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a wholesome plant-based dish.
