Isobel Pankhurst, a writer who adopted a vegetarian diet some years ago, recently explored a chickpea tuna recipe as an alternative to fish. Excited by the growing recognition of chickpeas as a ‘superfood,’ Isobel found the recipe on Loving It Vegan, which required several ingredients but was simple to prepare without any cooking involved.
She only needed to purchase nori sheets, capers, and Dijon mustard from the supermarket to complete the dish. After combining the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mashing them together for 5-10 minutes, Isobel refrigerated the mixture for later use.
The chickpea tuna was first used in spicy tuna rolls, prepared by her partner, who excelled at making sushi. The next day, Isobel added vegan mayonnaise to the mixture and served it in avocado bowls, while her partner enjoyed it in a sandwich.
To make the chickpea tuna, start by draining and rinsing chickpeas before mashing them in a bowl. Then, add mayonnaise, nori sheets, red onion, lemon juice, capers, garlic powder, nutritional yeast, tamari, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasonings as needed before serving or refrigerating.
