Ingredients
 

  • 3 TBSP sultanas
  • 1 x 400g / 14 oz can chickpeas rinsed and drained
  • 2 TBSP vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 TBSP Greek-style plant-based yoghurt (or substitute with extra vegan mayonnaise)
  • 3-4 tsp mild curry powder adjust to taste
  • 2 TBSP mango chutney
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, plump up the sultanas by placing them in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave to soak while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the vegan mayonnaise, yoghurt, curry powder, mango chutney and apple cider vinegar. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  • Tip the chickpeas into the bowl and roughly mash with a potato masher, leaving plenty of texture.
  • Drain the sultanas and fold them through the mixture.
  • Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or chill until ready to use.

Notes

My favourite ways to serve it:
  • Sandwich: Spread with a thin layer of buttery plant-based spread, and serve with a small handful of rocket (arugula). (Great for lunchboxes!)
  • Flatbread: Spread with a thin layer of Greek-style plant-based yoghurt, then add rocket, cucumber, sweet vine-ripened cherry tomatoes, chopped fresh mint and the Coronation Chickpea Smash. Fold and enjoy as a delicious, no-cook meal!
  • For an extra protein boost: Fold some diced smoked tofu into the filling. It pairs beautifully with the gently spiced curry flavours.
 
Kitchen Tip: I find the easiest way to rinse and drain chickpeas is to tip them into a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water, gently shaking or stirring them with your hand until the water runs clear. Then give the sieve a good shake to remove as much excess water as possible before adding them to the recipe. If you regularly cook with beans and lentils, a fine mesh sieve is a really useful kitchen tool to have.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
