Deceptively real fish taste – purely plant-based

Even Dad was convinced: This chickpea tuna tastes deceptively real! The secret lies in the perfect combination of mashed chickpeas, finely chopped gherkins, dill, and a creamy mayo blend with mustard and lemon. The blend of salty and sour notes perfectly mimics the taste of the sea. This healthy spread is ready in just 10 minutes and will keep for 3 days in the fridge. Ideal for sandwiches, wraps, or as a spread on bread. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, yet much more sustainable than real tuna. Who would have thought pulses could be so versatile? A recipe that will delight vegans and skeptics alike! 🥪
