Vegan Veggie "Tuna"
This vegan veggie "tuna" is so easy to make. Made with chickpeas, tofu, and lots of yummy colorful veggies.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 block (16 ounces) firm tofu
- 1 large carrot peeled (about 4.5 ounces)
- 1 celery rib about (2 ounces)
- 1 small bell pepper halved (about 4 ounces)
- ⅛ red onion (about 2 ounces)
- 5 ounces hummus, any flavor you like
- 2 tablespoons vegan mayo
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Open the tofu package, wrap in a paper towel, and gently squeeze out the excess water. In a food processor pulse the chickpeas and tofu for 1 to 2 minutes until the chickpeas are broken down and flaky, and the tofu is broken down and slightly creamy. Do not over pulse as you don't want it to turn into a dip. Transfer into a big bowl.
- Add all the veggies into a food processor and pulse for 1 to 2 minutes until all the veggies are broken down into very tiny pieces.
- Add into the bowl with the tofu and chickpeas. Then add in the hummus and vegan mayo. Mix to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper according to your preference.
- Place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes or until ready to enjoy. Place on bread, in a lettuce wrap, or on a salad.
