Ingredients
- 15.5 ounce can chickpeas drained
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo
- 1/3 cup celery (1 large stalk) chopped small
- 2 Tablespoons green onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon dill pickle relish
- 1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika sweet, not smoked
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder sub 1/2 Tablespoon prepared mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pinch kala namak black salt more to taste
- 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs more to desired consistency
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas and put into a medium bowl.
- Dice the celery and green onions - the smaller, the better. Add to drained chickpeas.
- Add in the vegan mayo, pickles, and seasoning.
- With an immersion blender or food processor, mix and smash all the ingredients together.
- Mix in the breadcrumbs. Start with 1/3 cup and add in more by the teaspoon till you have your desired consistency.
- Start with 1 pinch of the black salt. Add in another pinch if desired. Remember that a little goes a long way. It has a strong sulfur taste and smell.
- Allow to sit for about 30 minutes. This will allow the bread crumbs to soften and the flavors to meld.
- Serve between two crusty slices of bread or in a lettuce wrap.
- The chickpea mixture can be kept in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for about 5 days.
