Coronation Chickpea Sandwich

The image shown for this recipe is from Popham's bakery in London. This recipe is not the Popham's recipe though - we just LOVED their picture of it and it inspired us to inspire you to.... EAT MORE BEANS!

Everyone loves a coronation chicken - nostalgic, VERY BRITISH + now, darn sustainable as you can sub the chicken for Queen Chickpeas. SORTED!

Stuffing it in a sarnie is a traditional way to serve this dish, but we also love it as a big party platter served on a bed of crunchy iceberg lettuce.

2 tbsp sultanas or 2 handfuls of red grapes, sliced in half
A large handful of coriander (roughly 15g), roughly chopped

8 slices of fresh bread, (such as soft white or foccacia, or use GF bread)
1/2 head of crunchy iceberg lettuce, torn into sandwich-sized leaves

Crunchy Bits (optional)

2 tbsp of bombay mix, roughly chopped
1 tbsp of flaked almonds, toasted

Made with:
Queen Chickpeas

This is the ultimate chickpea. It's tender, giant and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them.

Directions

step 1
In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, curry powder, turmeric, cinnamon, chutney and sultanas. Stir through the coriander, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
step 2
Add the chickpeas to the sauce and stir to coat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of bean stock to loosen if needed, then season to taste.

To Assemble

step 4
Divide the coronation chickpea filling between 4 of the slices of bread or the bottom halves of the focaccia. Top with the crunchy bits (if using) and lettuce leaves, then top each one with another slice of bread or the tops of the focaccia. Cut into halves and serve.

Mighty Queen Chickpeas

This is the ULTIMATE chickpea. It's tender, GIANT and oh so delicious. These guys are so delicious in their own right, they can stand centre stage of any dish with little else needed doing to them. Try them in this spiced tomato + harissa stew or as a hearty filling in this coronation chickpea sandwich. Or crisp them up in the oven for crunchy-on-the-outside, soft-in-the-centre marvels to top onto soup, salads or stews.
Additive and preservative-free. Just the highest quality beans, water and a pinch of salt.
