Chickpea Tuna Sandwich Filler

seaweed sweetcorn chickpea sandwiches

This is such a simple recipe. It doesn’t have many ingredients. If you can get hold of this vegan fish sauce it will help give your chickpeas a super fishy punch. If you can’t, don’t worry, the seaweed is great and the fake fish sauce can be a bit overwhelming if you’re a long-serving vegan.

Plant-based fish sauce!

Ingredients

  • 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1 tbsp tahini
  • 1/2 lemon’s worth of juice
  • 1 snack packet of seaweed or some nori
  • 1/2 tbsp fake fish sauce
  • Tinned sweetcorn
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Stick everything in a bowl apart from the seaweed, sweetcorn and the salt and pepper. Use a fork to mash the mixture to a softer consistency. You can go for as long as your want here. I like mine to be fairly mashed up, but with some chunks in it for bite. Once it’s tuna-ish, chop up your seaweed into little pieces and add it to the bowl, then add your sweetcorn. I haven’t specified an amount, half a small tin is enough for me. Give it a good mix and then taste it, I’m a fiend for black pepper so I add plenty here. If you’ve used the fake fish sauce then your probably don’t need any more salt!

Saved up in a pot for when you fancy a fishy, fish-free sandwich.

That is literally it. I love a sandwich and find gluten-free bread is a nightmare to get hold of. If you can find it, you usually have to take a loan out at the bank every time you want a loaf! If that’s you, check out my bread recipes.

Chickpea tuna sandwich filler is pictured here in my new bread roll recipe, you can’t see from the picture but there is a massive dollop of vegan mayonnaise in each bun!

I would love to know what you think of this chickpea tuna sandwich filler. Maybe you’re a full-time vegan or perhaps you’re just dipping your toes in the cruelty-free waters for Veganuary. Either way, leave a comment or tag me in your snaps on Instagram.

I am a creative snacker, living in the south of England with my boyfriend and our two dogs. I can't eat gluten, this was a bit of a set back for me on the vegan train. I am collating a collection of recipes, some are quick and easy, others take a bit more time. It can be so disheartening trying to do both vegan and gluten-free at the same time and, although it is getting easier to buy products, cooking from scratch is almost always the cheapest and most nutritious option.
