Ingredients
- 1.5 cup chickpeas rinsed and strained
- 175 g organic smoked tofu
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon organic garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon organic dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- Salt & pepper
- 1 small organic carrot diced
- ¼ organic bell pepper diced
- 2 spring onions minced
Instructions
- In a food processor, dice the veggies and reserve in a separate bowl. Add chickpeas, smoked tofu and lemon juice to the food processor and blend well, leaving a few chunks. (You can also cut the veggies by hand and mix the legumes and tofu with an immersion blender.)
- Transfer into a bowl, add the seasonings and mix well with a spoon. Add the veggies and herbs.
Notes
Smoked tofu is usually firmer and contains less water, but make sure to press out any excess what before blending.[br]You can replace vegan mayo with avocado purée, but know that the spread will get brown after a few hours due to oxidation.[br]The quantities are only a suggestion. You can easily “eyeball” this recipe. Don’t be afraid to use other veggies and spices. You could add turmeric and curry powder for a delicious Indian version!
