SO HOW'D IT GO?
YUM! I added kelp granules to try to make it fishy, and it still didn't quite taste like tuna, but it was good!! And cheap & easy, what more could you want?
ever since a co-worker had a tuna sandwich i've been craving one. This really hit the spot! I'm glad i grabbed a few extra can of chikpeas while they were on sale. I'm going to be making this again, and again, and again... :)
This isn't bad at all..actually with these adjustments, I really couldn't tell the difference between real tuna and this. And believe me I ate tuna almost everyday! These are the additions: 1/2T lime juice, 1T chopped onion (fine chop), chili (hot) pepper, fresh - as much as desired, 1t grey poupon mustard, little drizzle of pickle juice, salt & pepper and nayonnaise. I couldn't believe how "real" this tasted, I think the lime juice and pepper really cinched this for me. I seriously couldn't tell the difference. Don't have any doubts, make it-eat it!!
this is really yummy. my omni family liked it, too.
I dunno about tuna..but I think it's good as a chickpea sandwich! I used dijon nayonaise, yellow mustard, pickle slices, a little onion, and some cayenne pepper. It's a lot easier to mash after you have the liquid-ish ingredients added. : )
i love this stuff. i keep it simple with just the chickpeas and the veganaise, last time though i added some marinated artichoke hearts that i rinsed most of the oil off of and sliced up.. sooooo good inside a warmed up pita pocket with a little tomato.
I couldn't believe how much this tasted like tuna!! Tuna is really the only meat that I ever miss, and now I don't have to! Thanks so much for this quick and easy recipe!!
yum yum! I omitted pickles and dropped the mustard to 1 T. I also added crushed nori because I did not have kelp powder. I did not have onion so I added leeks and I added apple because that is how I use to eat my tuna when I was a kid. How delicious!
Amazingly...this tastes a million times better than tuna...That was one of the things I kind of missed...but this filled that void for sure! :)
I made this for my family today and we all LOVED IT! Quick, easy, and inexpensive and it taste like tuna!! What else could you ask for. Thanks for sharing this receipe. :)
