Ingredients

Chickpea Filling

  • Half cup cooked chickpeas
  • Half a red onion
  • 2 Tbsp hummus
  • Small bunch of parsley
  • 1 Garlic clove
  • 1 Tbsp mustard
  • 1 or 2 tbsp lemon juice depending on your taste
  • 1 Tsp Turmeric
  • Half a tsp ground cumin
  • Pepper and salt to taste

Sandwich or toast

  • 2 slices of whole-grain bread or 4, if you're going for a sandwich
  • Half an avocado
  • Veggies of your choosing kale, spinach, cucumber, red bell pepper...

Instructions

  • Add to a food processor all of the filling ingredients.
  • Process everything, without over-processing, so we have some remaining chunks for texture.
  • Spread a nice amount of this filling on a slice of whole-grain bread, add some veggies of your choosing, and top with some sliced avocado.
  • Sprinkle with some pepper and chilly flakes and that’s it.
  • Have it as a toast or top with a second slice of bread to have as a sandwich.

Notes

This filling is enough for 2 or 3 sandwiches, depending on how stuffed you like your sandwich and you could also have this as a toast.
You can instead mash this paste with a fork or with a potato masher, just remember to finely chop the onion and the parsley and crush the garlic clove in advance.
As this is a super versatile filling, you can add any other ingredient of your likings, like other herbs or pickles, for example.
