- 1/2 Can Chick Peas, drained
- 2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Garlic Clove (more if you are a fan!)
- 1/2 tsp. Lemon zest
- 2 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
- 1 Can of Italian Tuna, such as Cento
- 1/2 Can Artichoke Hearts -or- 1/2 jar marinated artichoke hearts, chopped
- Arugula
- Plum Tomato, sliced and salted
- 1 Lemon
- Salt
- Pepper
- In a small food processor combine chick peas, olive oil, garlic and lemon zest until smooth. If you find it to be too thick, add a little more olive oil
- Add mayonnaise and blend until well blended
- In a small bowl, combine tuna and artichokes - if you use tuna in water or canned artichoke hearts you may need to add a little olive oil to this so that it isn't too dry
- Add juice of half of a lemon, salt and pepper to the tuna artichoke mixture
- Cut yourself a nice piece of ciabbata bread and spread your chick pea mixture liberally on both sides
- On one slice, place 3 slices of tomato and a few leaves of arugula
- Place a heaping spoonful of the tuna artichoke mixture on top of this, top with the other piece of bread and....ENJOY!!!
I served this with sliced tomato drizzled with a little olive oil and seasonings - such a light and refreshing meal!
I love your blog so far Patrizia!! And I am definitely making this ASAP. Yum!!!!
