What goes into a chickpea tuna sub?

Chickpeas- They’re such a versatile ingredient, naturally packing a protein for the vegans. When you mash the chickpeas and mix with the other ingredients the texture mocks that of tuna. 

Capers- To get a salty almost sea like flavour, add mashed capers with a little splash of the juice to this recipe.

Vegan Mayonnaise- This helps bind the chickpea tuna whilst adding a creamy texture to it.

Mustard- You want a little tang to the recipe, so adding wholegrain mustard will help.

Fresh dill- This herb adds to much flavour. Usually associated with fish, it helps add to all the flavours.

Option to add nori sheets- This is a readily available ingredient in most supermarkets but if you don’t have access to this ingredient don’t worry.
