how to make

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, mash chickpeas/garbanzo beans with the back of a fork or potato masher.
  • Add the lemon juice and zest and fold into mashed garbanzo beans.
  • Add the red onion and celery and fold.
  • Add the vegan mayo, cayenne, celery seed, parsley flakes and garlic powder. Fold in gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the diced pickle, pickle juice and the crushed nori and whisk to reconstitute the nori. Add this mixture to the large bowl and fold in gently.
  • Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread and set butter side down on a sheet tray.
  • Add one piece of Nurishh Cheddar Style Slices to each dry side of bread.
  • Add two tbsp of the chickpea-tuna mixture on top of the cheese on four slices of the bread.
  • Add two dill pickle chips on top of the chickpea tuna.
  • Top each sandwich with remaining bread and cheese slices and press down gently.
  • In a large, non-stick sauté pan, melt 2 tbsp of vegan butter over medium heat until just bubbling.
  • Add the Chickpea Tuna Melt (working in batches if needed to not over-crowd the pan) and toast on both sides on medium heat until golden brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Place back on sheet tray when finished.

finishing touches

  • When ready to serve, place the sheet tray with the toasted sandwiches in the oven for 5 minutes for optimal melting and toasty-ness.
  • Remove from oven and season the top slice with a little salt and pepper.
  • Serve and enjoy.
