Chickpea Sandwiches (egg salad’ & coronation curry!)

Everyone likes a good sandwich, and here are two fabulous simple recipes to master, to make your own vegan versions of egg salad, and coronation chickpea (indeed named after the Queen’s coronation in the 1950s).

This ‘egg salad’ sandwich (The Simple Veganista) uses Julie’s homemade ‘egg salad’ as the base, combining with salad in good bread. Chickpeas are the star of the show here, combined with celery, red onions, pickles and vegan mayo.

Flora vegan butters are free from palm oil. Don’t feed leftover sandwiches to pets, garden birds or wildfowl due to salt and fat (which smears on feathers, affecting waterproofing/insulation). Nor stale/mouldy bread which could choke or harm. 

Fully remove lids from tinned chickpeas before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped. Just bin tomato and allium (garlic/onion family) scraps, as acids could harm compost creatures.

This vegan coronation chickpea sandwich (The Simple Veganista) is a plant-based take on the chicken coronation sandwich. This is a curried affair, which basically serves up Julie’s curried chickpeas with some salad in a sarnie. Yummy.

Did you know that in Knotty Ash (a suburb of Liverpool), Ken Dodd’s Diddymen extract different flavours, from the jam butty mines?
