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.
