Chickpea + lentil + avocado sandwich spread

Ingredients

  • 1/2 to 1 can of chickpeas
  • 1/2 to 2 can of lentils
  • 1 avocado
  • green onions
  • 1 or 2 cloves of garlic... if you can handle raw garlic ;)
  • a bit of horse radish
  • pea sprouts or other little greens
  • curry powder, chipotle pepper powder (or whatever other spices you like)
  • lemon juice (optional)
  • salt and pepper
  • bread (for sandwiches. I used pumpernickle)

Directions

  1. Blend the chickpeas, and lentils in a food processor. I kept the mixture pretty coarse so there was still a nice texture to it.
  2. Mash up avocado with a spoon. Add a bit of horse radish if you like it spicy. Mix into the chickpeas/lentils.
  3. Season with a bit of curry power, chipotle pepper powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  4. Add pea sprouts/greens.
  5. Spread on top of some toasted bread and eat! Yum.

Alternative ideas

  • If the mixture isn't creamy enough, you could add a bit of [vegan] mayo or more avocado. I didn't find it was necessary.
  • I didn't have any lying around, but herbs like parsely and dill would probably taste good mixed in
