This is amazing! I’m a notorious carnivore, but something
about this recipe piqued my interest. I tried it over the weekend, and it’s
truly fantastic!
Tuna melts are a staple of mine, and I’m 100% honest when I
say I might never go back to real tuna now. This is just as tasty, healthier,
and cheaper!
Ingredients
- 6-8 slices of bread (gluten-free if preferred)
- 3-4 lettuce leaves , washed and cut into sandwich size
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dill
- 2 teaspoons dulce flakes or granules or kelp granules/flakes (*See Note)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt , more to taste
- 1 can garbanzo beans , drained and rinsed
- 1 can hearts of palm , drained and rinsed
- 2 stalks celery , diced
- 1/3 cup vegan mayo (more if needed)
- Fresh ground pepper , to taste
Instructions
First,In a food processor add the garbanzo beans and hearts
of palm together. Pulse just a few times to shred it up. Don't pulse too many
times or it will turn to mush. It should have a tuna-like consistency. You can
also do this by manually, just use a fork or your hands to shred everything up.
Then,In a large mixing bowl, combine mayo, dulce or kelp,
garlic powder, dill, salt and pepper. Add garbanzo bean/hearts of palm mixture,
celery and combine well.
Line a slice of bread with lettuce and spread
"tuna" mixture on the other slice. Close the sandwich together and
cut diagonal. Use a toothpick to secure each half and add pickles, if
preferred. Repeat with the additional sandwiches. enjoy your meal !
