If your house is as crazy as mine has been this past week you are looking for quick and easy meals. Our solution tonight: vegetable soup and sandwiches. It was a pretty easy decision since we still had the tasty bread I made last night. The question was: what to put on that bread to make sandwiches. I don't really miss tuna salad, but if you do then this is the recipe for you. I can't remember where I got this from--I think is was on a
Vegan Lunch Box discussion forum about canned TuNo. It's a great way to enjoy nori and all its goodness without having to make sushi.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 can of chickpeas, rinsed and well drained
- 1/2 cup of vegenaise (or more, depending on what consistency you are going for)
- 1 sheet of toasted nori seaweed
- 1 tsp kelp granules (optional)
- salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
1. Rip nori into smaller pieces and place in a food processor. Process until finely chopped.
2. Add in chickpeas and pulse until coarsely chopped (be sure to pulse--otherwise it will become a paste.
3. Place chickpeas in a bowl. Add in vegenaise, kelp, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep cold until ready to serve.
I was in the bulk food store today and noticed that they sell chopped nori. That got me thinking about TuNori, which got me thinking about the tuna melts we used to make way back when. This is a really easy and quick meal when you are pinched for time.
