I love tuna fish sandwiches. I crafted this vegetarian version using chick peas (garbonzo beans).

I cook my beans up fresh.

In a crock pot add one cup of dried beans to a pot of water. Salt and Pepper to taste. Cook on a low setting for several hours.

I used half of those beans last night to make roasted red pepper hummus.

For lunch today I used the remainder of the beans to craft a vegetarian tuna type spread.

Mash one cup of cooked chick peas with diced onion, celery, and a couple tablespoons of cooked brown basmati rice.

Add any sort of additional ingredients you like. In this mix I put in vegan mayo, sweet relish, salt and pepper, miracle whip, and topped it with microgreens.

Chick Pea Sandwich! This vegetarian tuna fish type sandwich was crafted on sour dough Kamut bread with microgreens and fresh pears. I added in a couple of tablespoons of cooked brown basmati rice to up the protein and give the spread a tuna like feel. Yummy! #Vegetarian Summer! pic.twitter.com/KUCUDAtfBG
