Vegetarian Chickpea Sandwich Filling Recipe

My vegetarian sister taught me to make this several years ago. It's a great sandwich filling and also tastes delicious as a filling for stuffed tomatoes (very pretty topped with fresh parsley). I make mine in the food processor and always add a dash of Tabasco to it. We've also made it with Dijon mustard replacing the lemon juice... very versatile and yummy recipe!

I'm in love with this. I made it last night and let it sit in the fridge for a day, that may have helped. Tonight I warmed some Turkish flatbread in the oven, spread the chickpea filling on it generously, threw some halved cherry tomatoes and thin slices of cucumber on and drizzled with a bit of light yoghurt. Then wrapped it all up burrito-style. After the first bite I thought it was a nice 4 star spread, but it kept tasting better and better with each bite. Now I am finding it hard no to attack the leftovers with a spoon and eat up the whole lot. So good. Wonderful texture, the dill works great (esecially with the salad and yoghurt) and its so healthy. Fingerlicking good. Thanks.

Delicious! I removed the skin from the chick peas by gently rolling them between my fingers. Then I used the 'Mix & Chop by Pampered Chef' to flatten the chick peas to the consistency of flaked fish. I also added some chopped cucumber to the mix and honestly, this recipe tasted very much like chicken salad.

Amazing!!! Lacking the celery, lettuce, and tomatoes, instead I used peeled, diced cucumber, and diced red bell peppers. It was a red onion that I used. I served it as a sandwich on inexpensive, multigrain bread slices, toasted in the toaster. It was soooo delicious! For sure, though, I would NOT skip the dried dillweed, tangy mayonnaise, lemon juice, or salt/pepper. Remember to soak the onion in cold water for one hour, first, to reduce the sulfur compounds!

this recipe I love it guys I add shallots instead of onions I add Dijon mustard at tablespoon and a little olive oil. It is amazing so the chicks are not so dry. I use Greek Pita bread, also added Avocado , tomatoes and lettuce and it is Amazingly delicious

I boiled the garbanzos for an easier mash and added corn and green onions because I had them leftover. Plus I only have Hawaiian rolls, but those are my fave, so to each their own on bread. I’ll probably chill it for a little bit, but I tried it warm and it’s DELICIOUS! Totally recommend :)

Amazing and delicious! The whole family, kids included, LOVE this dish. As you can see in my picture, we used pitas, and garnished with choice of greens, tomatoes, cucumber (drizzled with red wine vinegar) and plain Greek yogurt. The sandwiches had a Greek flair and this chickpea sandwich fill is very yummy! Note, I used 1/2 white beans and 1/2 garbanzo/chickpea, because the store was out of chickpeas. FIVE STARS!

This smashed chickpea salad is great for lunch and reminds me of egg salad. However, I prefer another recipe I have made, which adds 1 T dijon mustard and 1/4 cup diced dill pickles. The addition of these ingredients livens up the flavor on your tongue.

I added fresh dill relish and a tsp. of Hungarian paprika, some garlic salt and a bit less onion. Tastes like a chicken salad. Soooo good with Triscuits crackers!!! Making for Super Bowl party!

We needed a vegetarian option for a baby shower luncheon, and this was a big hit! It is very easy to make, which was a bonus. I did find it to be just a bit dry with just 1 TBSP of mayo and lemon juice each, so I added about 1-2 tsp extra of the mayo, and another squirt of the lemon juice. We served it on crostini. We prefer to make it a day ahead and let the flavors meld. I have also added some chopped tomato and chopped cucumber and eaten it like a salad. YUM!

Add nutritional yeast and kelp powder generously. Sub vegenase for the mayo. Really like tuna. With some healthy rice roll this up in nori w cucumber and jicama sliced thin. Whole food, low fat, plant based goodness.

I used thousand island dressing instead of mayo

This is a go-to recipe for our vegetarian family when we're looking for something quick, easy, healthy, and substantial. The only change I make is that I decrease the amount of onion by about 30% because otherwise, we find that flavor overwhelming. Otherwise, this is wonderful as is, eaten in pita pockets or as a dip with pita chips.

I added a tsp of pickle juice and a dash of hot sauce. I also put sliced tomatoes, and a leaf of lettuce on the sandwich and spread mayo on the bread.

Quick, simple, and everyday ingredients. Jut made this for lunch and loved this salad on a sandwich with chips on the side. Will make again for lunch at work. Note: Left-overs are even better!

This is VERY DRY and bland. I tried adding jarred pickled vegetables with some of their juice which helped somewhat.. but not enough. I'd appreciate any suggestions as I really would like this to work.

Bro, I feel like a culinary genius.

Great template. Infinitely variable. Today I substituted poblano pepper and basil from my garden and added a clove of garlic. I "mash" the garbanzo beans and chop the vegies in my small food processer.

Chickpeas, mayo, onion powder (was all I had available) blended on low in blender- very tasty in a sandwich!

Loved it!
