To make the hummus, cook the chickpeas as above. Place in a food processor and whizz with the oil and enough water to make a thick paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If you don’t have a processor, mash the chick peas with a fork.
To assemble the sandwich, using half the hummus, spread it over the 4 slices of bread, sprinkle the grated carrot over two slices, and top with the other slices.
We don't have any available on Meal Plan 1 but if you have any, add garlic, lemon zest and a spoon of tahini
Notes
If you are following Meal Plan 1, the other half of the hummus is used in the same way on another dayThere are a great many flavouring variations, have a look here for loads of ideas for your hummus
If you have a lemon, a little fine grated zest and a spritz of juice is lovely.
Garlic too is a classic addition, we just don't have any available on this meal plan.
Or add a few very slow cooked, caramelised onions, stirred through.
Or add a bit of red pepper from a jar, either chopped and left in chunks, or whizzed when you make the paste.
And of course, if you have some tahini, stir a tsp through, yum.
Or how about a tsp or so of Aunt Mabels Green Tomato Chutney that's been in the cupboard for 4 years.
Or dry fry 2 or 3 tsps of curry powder, or any combination of spices you have (if whole, they will need to be ground up fine) and stir them through - goodness, this is making me hungry!
