Ingredients (serves 1)
- Chickpeas, cooked / tinned150 g
- Soya yoghurt (plain, unsweetened)40 g
- Pickled cucumbers (fermented)60 g
- Onion20 g
- Wholemeal bread (2 slices)70 g
- Lettuce leaves30 g
- Tomato100 g
Also: Dill, lemon juice, salt, pepper
Method
- Get ready: rinse and drain the chickpeas (150 g) well. Wash the lettuce leaves and tomato.
- Finely chop the pickled cucumbers (60 g), onion (20 g) and a sprig of dill. Slice the tomato.
- In a small bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork – not into a purée, leave some chunks.
- Stir in the soya yoghurt (40 g), cucumbers, onion and dill. Season with pepper and a splash of lemon juice. Go easy on the salt – the pickles are already salty.
- Top the bread slices (70 g) with lettuce, the filling and tomato slices. If you're taking it to work, assemble the sandwich just before eating.
Tips
- Don't mash the chickpeas all the way – the chunks give it texture.
- Keep the filling separate – the bread won't go soggy before lunch.
