Curried Chickpea Sandwich
- 1 cup dried chickpeas (you could also use a can of chickpeas)
- 1 handful cilantro, chopped
- 1 avocado
- 3 scallions, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup arugula
- 8 slices hearty bread
- If you are using dried chickpeas (I recommend this method -- you won't regret it), cover the chickpeas with a couple inches of water in a large bowl. Let them sit overnight. In the morning, rinse the chickpeas, then transfer them to a large heavy-bottomed pot and cover them with with a few more inches of water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 2 hours, until the chickpeas are soft.
- In a large bowl (or a food processor), mash (or process) the chickpeas, cilantro, avocado, scallions, lime juice, curry powder, and smoked paprika.
- To serve, spread the chickpea mixture on a slice of bread. Top with arugula, a couple tomato slices, and a second piece of bread. Cut your sandwich in half and enjoy!
