Chickpea with tomato and herb Sandwich

So, I guess you’ve noticed that Sandwich recipes are trending, at least for me and my blog.  My last post was a Greek Spanakopita Sandwich which if you have not yet tried you absolutely should because it is so tasty.  This time it’s this Chickpea with tomato and herb Sandwich recipe.   How can I describe this sandwich the only words that come to mind are flavorful and awesome!!   As the weather gets warmer sandwiches are the go-to meal for lunch and dinner.

So, if you love to eat Legumes, for those of you who don’t know what Legumes here are a few examples: beans, lentils, and chickpeas these tasty treats are also delicious in sandwiches.  In this Chickpea with tomato and herb sandwich recipe, I’ve mixed things up a bit.  You can add celery, mayo, parsley, etc. but that’s just a bit too much for me.  My version is a bit different, I’ve added dill (of course) greek yogurt, cherry tomatoes, and a few tasty spices.  A much healthier version is full of colors and flavors.  The yogurt definitely does make a difference but on the other hand, if you are not a yogurt person go ahead and add mayo either way it tastes so good.  I soaked the chickpeas in water overnight 8 hrs and boiled them the following morning.  If you don’t want to wait then go ahead and use store-bought chickpeas for this recipe.

Now, if you are not into sandwiches ( I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love a good sandwich)  this Chickpea with tomato and herb recipe is a great option as a salad.  Add olive oil a few Greek olives and feta cheese and serve with roasted fresh bread.  YUMMMM!!!

Have a great morning/afternoon/evening everyone!!

KALI MAS OREXI!! 🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
