    😋 Let's talk Taste

    To give an honest review about the taste of this Vegan Tuna Sandwich, it's just incredible! 😋 The creamy texture of Tuna is exactly the same as that of mashed Chickpeas. Also, this is equally creamy and flavorful. Just perfect. I do miss the seafood flavors a bit but you can get that as well if you're using Nori Sheets or Dried Konbu Dashi. 😋😋😋

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Pulse Chickpea along with all the other ingredients in a food processor.
    • You can also do this step using a Mortar and Pestle or using two forks. It'll take some time and effort to do it but is totally possible.

    STEP 2: Serve

    • Serve in between two crusty toasted Breads.

    Hint: For even better texture, use cooked Chickpeas. After you've soaked the Chickpeas overnight, boil them for about 15-20 minutes covered, over medium-high heat. This will make it easier for you to pulse them and also you'll get the exact texture of creamy Tuna in a Vegan Tuna Salad Sandwich!!!
