CARROT AND CHICKPEA ?TUNA? MELTS

Serves:4

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes

Adapted from “Sweet Potato Soul Vegan Vibes” by Jenné Claiborne (Rodale, 2025).

Ingredients

  • One (15-ounce) can no-salt-added chickpeas, drained and rinsed
    2 medium carrots (6 ounces total), scrubbed
    1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    2 teaspoons ume plum vinegar, plus more to taste
    2 teaspoons dulse seaweed flakes
    1 teaspoon celery seeds
    Fine salt
    8 teaspoons olive oil
    8 slices sourdough or other sandwich bread
    4 slices nondairy cheese

Preparation

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees.
    In a large bowl, use a fork to coarsely mash the chickpeas.
    Using the fine side of a box grater, shred the carrots. Add them to the bowl with the chickpeas. Add the vegan mayonnaise, dill, mustard, vinegar, dulse and celery seeds, and stir to thoroughly combine. Taste, and season with more vinegar and with salt, if desired.
    Build the sandwiches on a large sheet pan: Brush 1 teaspoon of the olive oil on one side of each of the bread slices, and arrange the slices oil side down. Top half of the slices with a slice of vegan cheese and about 1/2 cup of the chickpea mixture. Top the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, oil side up.
    Bake for about 10 minutes, flipping the sandwiches halfway through, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is starting to melt. Serve warm.

    * Substitutions:

    Chickpeas: cannellini, navy or other white beans
    Canned beans: 1 1/2 cups home-cooked beans
    Ume plum vinegar: rice vinegar, preferably unseasoned
    Dulse flakes: any other seaweed flakes (nori, wakame or a blend), or omit
    Celery seeds: dill seeds
