RECIPE :: fishless tuna
One of my favourite ingredients get to be used again – chickpeas, this time in a quick and easy spread. My partner thinks it tastes like tuna, I’m not convinced but then it does have the consistency and oiliness of tuna. I prefer to think of it as a really tasty combination of chickpeas and tomatoes.
Ingredients
2tsp of mustard seeds,
250g / 9oz of cooked chickpeas (mashed),
100g / 3½oz of cherry tomatoes (finely chopped),
1tbsp of fresh lemon juice,
4tbsp of olive oil,
½ tsp of cayenne pepper and
½ tsp of salt.
Method
| 1) |

| 2) |

Suggestions of use
To try out something different you can place some of this mixture on the bottom of a Nori sheet and roll away to make some sushi.
