Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Crusty bread (e.g., ciabatta or sourdough)
- 1 cup Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Harissa paste
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Preserved lemon, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Arugula or baby spinach
- 0.25 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chickpeas, harissa paste, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the chickpeas are coated in the harissa and lightly crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined to make the yogurt sauce. Set aside.
Lightly toast the slices of bread until golden and crisp.
Spread a generous layer of the yogurt sauce on two slices of bread.
Start layering: add a handful of arugula or baby spinach, sliced cucumbers, and tomatoes on top of the yogurt sauce.
Divide the harissa chickpeas between the sandwiches and spread evenly. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped preserved lemon for a burst of flavor.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top to complete the sandwiches. Optionally, press down slightly to secure the layers.
Slice each sandwich diagonally and serve immediately. Enjoy your Vegetarian Club with a North African Accent!
