      Would I need to actually cook the canned chickpeas or use them right from the can?

      This was an awesome recipe as usual. I made a small sandwich and ate the rest with a spoon. I added broccoli sprouts to my sandwich. Very tasty recipe. Thank you for creating such a great blog with recipes that work.

      I made two sandwiches from this recipe. 🤩 the lemon and olive oil make it taste so bright and fresh! That’s a welcome addition to winter cooking.

      Delicious. Since this recipe makes 2 servings, I halved the ingredients and served it openface on 1 slice of multigrain bread, sliced cucumbers, and a bed of baby spinach. Sprinkled with smoked paprika. This will be a regular lunch for me, thank you!

      Hi Sylvia
      If you suggest cutting the sandwich in half and share, do you mean that the portion is the half of the whole sandwich?

      Reply
      • Sylvia Fountaine says

        February 24, 2020 at 8:03 am

        Yes, the filling makes one giant sandwich- so I usually just eat half. You could also make 2 smaller sandwiches if you prefer – or two open-faced sandwiches.

      I made this sandwich without the chick peas and just mashed 1/2 of an avocado, added some chopped red onion and celery. Sprinkled it with about 1/4 of juice of a lemon, salt and pepper. Spread it on Dave’s Seed Bread, added a few slices of cucumber, and used avocado mayo. Yum! Thanks for the inspiration. So quick, easy and delicious!

      Just made with ingredients I had. It was delicious. I put in a Millet and flax wrap. One thing to note chickpeas + bread or wrap is double carbs. Chickpeas are an excellent source of protein but starchy. Keep in mind with portion of chickpeas if you are adding to grains (rice, bread, wrap), sweet potato. Good to have an idea for balanced eating.

      So good! I ended up using half a can of chickpeas (so a bit more than half a cup) and chipotle chili pepper in place of the cayenne. I spread it on whole grain naan and topped with spinach and tomato slices. I could eat this every day!
