Garbanzo beans are a great protein. They are low fat, high fiber and full of vitamins and minerals. One cup has more than 14 grams of protein and 12 grams of fiber. They have magnesium, iron, folate, zinc, vitamin B6 and thiamine, just to name a few vitamins and minerals. These humble beans are a perfect vegan alternative to meat!
- 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans
- 2/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 1 Tablespoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
- 1/2 cup vegan (egg free) mayonnaise (adjust to your taste - more dry or more wet)
- 1/2 cup yellow mustard
- 1/2 cup sweet pickle relish
- Bread and other sandwich condiments
-
Grinding up the beans is the first step. Drain the can and put the beans into a food processor. Process until they are coarsely ground.
-
Add the dry ingredients and process until slightly smooth, then add the remaining ingredients except the relish and adjust the amounts to your taste. Process until smooth.
-
Remove from the food processor and stir in the pickle relish. Add any more mayonnaise or mustard to suit your tastes. A little salt and pepper, then refrigerate for a couple of hours.
-
Build your sandwich with your favorite toppings. I like lettuce and red onion. Enjoy!
