Ingredients
Scale
Chickpea Curry
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained
- 1/2 cup of unsweetened plant-based yogurt (we like Forager’s unsweetened plain cashew yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon of curry powder
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 cup of chopped dates
- 2 sprigs of green onions, chopped
- 1 handful of fresh mint, chopped
Toppings
- Finely sliced cabbage
- Pickled onions
And of course ciabatta bread! We like Izzio ciabatta bread, plus it’s easy to find in Denver grocery stores.
Instructions
- Cut the ciabatta loaf in half and then slice again for sandwiches. If using Izzio’s ciabatta toss it in the oven for about 10 minutes and let it cool a little before adding toppings.
- Make the chickpea curry. Start by smashing up most of the chickpeas with a fork. It doesn’t need to be smooth, in fact, a little texture is good. Next add the yogurt, curry powder, lemon juice, green onions, dates, and mint. Mix everything together. Salt to taste.
- Add a good hearty portion of the chickpea curry salad to the bread. Top with a handful of shredded cabbage and homemade pickled onions. Yum!
Notes
The chickpea curry is especially good if you make it a day ahead. The flavors really combine and make this extra delicious, or make a big batch for leftovers!
