Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 tin chickpeas or 1¾ cup of prepared chickpeas
  • 1 large avocado
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • juice from ½ a lemon
  • 2 tsp dried dill
  • dash of tamari
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of good quality whole grain bread
  • Handful of fresh baby spinach leaves
Method
  1. Combine chickpeas, avocado, parsley, lemon juice, dill and tamari in a large bowl. Using a potato masher, or a fork, smash everything together until well combined but with a little chunkiness remaining. You can also use a food processor but just pulse lightly- you don't want the filling to be a smooth paste!
  2. Give the filling a quick taste test, and adjust seasoning to taste
  3. Spread the filling on four slices of the bread, and spinach or other garnishes
  4. Pop the final bread on top of each slice to complete your sandwich!
