[Recipe] Broccoli-Chickpea Sandwich Spread

Lunchtime happens every day, and although the foods should be easy, they shouldn't be boring or lack style. Working Girl invites you to partake of Chickpea-Broccoli Sandwich Spread!

You will need:

1 16oz can of garbanzo/chickpeas
1 lb bag of frozen broccoli
2 tbs nutritional yeast
1 tbs lemon juice

1/2 cup mayonnaise

Prepare broccoli by blanching or otherwise thawing. Blend the broccoli and 1/2 of the chickpeas (or be lazy, attempt to blend it all at once, and end up taking twice as long, like me!). Combine and add other ingredients. Serve in a sandwich or wrap, hot or cold.

This sandwich spread is absolutely delicious when fried or grilled in a sandwich press. However, in a sub roll with lettuce and tomato or with dijon would be an equally tasty option.

How much does it make?: A lot. You are going to get many sandwiches out of this, as it has two pounds worth of ingredients in it. About a tablespoon or two of the mixture can cover even the largest bread. Expect this to last you for at least a couple weeks.

Today is also the first of my weekly soups. I've decided to do soups every week, so that I can have a small cup with my lunches or dinners. Today's soup was the tomato soup from the Moosewood Cookbook, so I shan't repeat it, though I never actually use the physical recipe anymore. Speaking of firsts, this soup was the first soup I ever cooked. It is easy, delicious, and tastes like heaven.
