Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas, cooked
- 0.5 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 slices Whole grain bread slices
- 1 Avocado, sliced
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Preheat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped mushrooms to the pan and cook until they release their water and become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked mixture to a food processor. Add the chickpeas, walnuts, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, black pepper, and fresh parsley.
Pulse the mixture, scraping down the sides as needed, until it forms a thick, chunky paste. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture to remain.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to suit your preference.
In a separate pan, toast the whole grain bread slices with the remaining olive oil until golden brown on both sides.
To assemble the sandwich, spread a generous amount of the vegan 'liver' paste onto a slice of toasted bread.
Layer with sliced avocado, tomato, and a lettuce leaf.
Top with another slice of toasted bread to complete the sandwich.
Repeat the assembly process for the second sandwich.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
