Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 bread rolls or sliced bread (4-6) we like ciabatta, sourdough or panini rolls
  • 1 tin of chickpeas (400g) drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder we used medium
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 20 g raisins or sultanas
  • ½ lime
  • 1 tablespoon mango chutney
  • 5 g coriander finely chopped
  • ½ chilli, red or green finely chopped
  • 80 g vegan mayonnaise or yoghurt
  • ¼ cucumber sliced into rounds
  • ½ gem lettuce leaves separated
  • 20 g toasted almond flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pan with a drop of oil and curry powder, add chickpeas and cook stirring continuously for 3 minutes, until all chickpeas are well coated and warmed through. Leave aside to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, mix vegan mayo (or yoghurt) with mango chutney, juice of ½ of lime, sultanas, chilli and coriander. Taste and season with salt and pepper. It may look like a lot, but if you make your sandwiches with a large bread roll it will make sure your sandwich isn't dry.
  • Add the cooled chickpeas to the coronation dressing and mix well. Crush some of the chickpeas with a fork into the sauce.
  • Cut your bread rolls in half lengthways. Place some gem lettuce leaves on the bottom half, then spoon the coronation chickpea mixture and sprinkle with toasted almonds, if using. Top with sliced cucumber and place the other half of bread on top.
  • Serve with crisps or some french fries for an ultimate vegan British-style lunch!
