Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic cloves.
Pulse the mixture until the ingredients begin to break down and are well combined, but still chunky.
Add the Dijon mustard, capers, smoked paprika, onion powder, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice into the food processor.
Blend the mixture again until it becomes smooth, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the processor bowl.
With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil until it is fully incorporated and the mixture reaches a creamy consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and blend for a few more seconds to mix well.
Transfer the Vegan Filet Americain to a bowl and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the spread as a topping on toasted baguette slices, as a sandwich filling, or as a dip for vegetables and crackers.
