Canan Orhun

Description

This is an easy, versatile and practical recipe that can be made in a jiffy. You may use any legumes of your liking. Or leftover cooked legumes such as daal that is thick and dry enough to spread on toast.  It makes 4-6 open face toasted sandwiches.

  • ✓ 400 g (about 14 oz) of cooked (and drained) beans/legumes of your choice. I used a can of mixed beans
  • ✓ 400 g (about 14 oz) of fresh green veggies (such as spinach and/or kale. I used both in my demo). Finely chopped and if using kale give it a good massage to soften it.
  • ✓ 3 cloves of garlic. 2 of them finely chopped and 1 whole
  • ✓ 2-3 teaspoons of lemon zest
  • ✓ 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • ✓ 2-3 teaspoons of low salt soy sauce
  • ✓ 1 tablespoon of pine nuts, toasted (or other seeds of your choice; pumpkin, sunflower...)
  • ✓ ½ cup of water to be used sparingly
  • ✓ 4-6 slices of whole grain sourdough bread, toasted
  • ✓ Salt & pepper
  • ✓ assorted spices such as turmeric, zaatar, paprika (optional) - I used these in my demo
  • ✓ ¼ cup of pomegranate arils (optional)
  1. Mash the legumes of your choice in a bowl, adding half of the lemon juice, the lemon zest, turmeric, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Add a couple of teaspoons of water at a time to reach desired consistency to spread on toast.
  2. Sautee the greens in a pan, once wilted add the chopped garlic and the soya sauce and sauté another minute or until you can smell the fine smell of the garlic. Keep the veggies nice and green, do not overcook. Set aside, once at room temperature add the rest of the lemon juice and mix well.
  3. Rub the toasted bread slices with the remaining garlic clove.
  4. Spread the mashed bean mix on toast, top with some greens and sprinkle with the desired combination of nuts, seeds, spices & the pomegranate arils.
