and paper I'll show you what I gotwhat's up guys welcome back to another
episodemy name is Eamon I live in this van full
time with my beautiful fiance she'sbehind the camera you can't see her but
she is really beautiful you have to takeno we're not ah thank you doing
everything in this little tiny kitchenwhen they have a two burner stove water
no oven let's get at itwe got a banger meal for you today this
has been requested by many becauseyou've seen it we're addicted read them
like maybe two three times a week it'scrazy
chickpea salad sandwiches now I saysandwiches but you can make them that's
a wrap you can do them as a panini youcan go crazy you could do this that's
like just a scooper and topper and saladit possibilities are endless guys let's
get into it we're gonna do it on a nicebeautiful rye I like to keep mine a
little like Mediterranean vibe soabsolutely addictive the sun-dried
tomatoes all of garbanzos otherwiseknown as chickpeas we're going to pants
dill pickles is a must-read onion nowwe've got a couple options here we'll
talk about we're gonna do it withavocado tomato
and I think that be it so maybe somespices let's get into it we don't have
any new sponsors on the show so iftoday's show is the one and only chai
wallah tyre let's start with our bigbull you know where I keep it that's a
nifty little strainer you're alwaysgonna get a couple stragglers at the
bottom a little bit of water over insight right out make sure we're parting
you getting a really high-quality masher
just mash those down if you have anactual master that'll work a fork for
work anything you just want to bust up Ilike to bust up about 80% no no buddy
just crack this no oh good okay sothat's the consistency we're looking for
now originally when I came up with thisrecipe or discovered it got inspired by
other people making it a lot of peoplewere using vegan Mayo which is amazing
it's delicious if you don't have veganMayo it's not a big deal we don't have
it today and it's also a lot healthierso we're gonna just do a bow and we're
gonna mash that in there as well easiestway to get rid of the seed here
it's just commit guys commit you're notsuper confident I wouldn't recommend
that technique but I started you justflick it off you don't wanna like grab
it and slut ah don't do that then justgo see ya this is a common mistake that
I'll even find out like some restaurantsand stuff like that it's the worse
situation when you get this little guyin your guacomole so make sure you just
pull that off it's just little detailsthey'll make your life lot easier and
then we can just strip this whole thingthrow it right in there start to work
that in a little better part I like tograb some that dill pickle liquid add a
bit of liquid in there okay mixeverything around such an easy recipe
guys like this we're done we'rebasically eating chickpeas all
sandwiches play now we're just gonna getinto a little chop chop the way I'm
going to do this guy as I just wanted asection because I don't need a whole
onion but basically I'm just going tosee what I'm doing there I'm just going
down to that so I'm leaving thatattached
you basically go all the way down butit's not coming all the way down because
the knife is able that way this thingstays together just makes your life a
lot easier you can play around with thatyou're not mucking around and then this
I'm just gonna do really small a lot ofpeople ask me like why did you get into
cooking why you like cooking so muchfirst of all I love just being able to
be creative I think cooking especiallyvegan food really forces you to be
creative it's super easy to make a steakand potato and veg but to cook in a
unique way and use ingredients thatcomplement you know spices and fresh
produce and there the possibility rend'less but the main reason I got into it
is because my mom would make me do thedishes unless I cook so I was first to
make that decision was pretty obviousokay onions gonna go right in I would
say pickles is the most importantingredient guys but anything else is
totally up to you this is my new likefan favorite of this week but celery is
delicious in it you can throw carrotsomeone messaged me saying toss an apple
in there so like literally thepossibilities are endless
this is just a base on the sandwich andthen whatever you have in your kitchen
even if you don't like pickles trypickles in this because like it's one
thing to just like buy typical Anita butmy aunt hates pickles and we made her
this and you can't even like I'm gonnacut cut cut cut chop up nice small
pieces so it really adds a good crunchfactor the dill works really well with
the Alba above the low the bigger onesI'm going to cut in three and then just
little guys I guarantee I might havesome comments being like you're gonna
cut your fingers off but I find this themost fun way to cut so this is how it
I know that to comment you're gonna cutyour fingers off but in if you add
olives I'm also gonna add a little bitof the olive brine you don't need to add
that refined salt which is cool to addthat little bit saltiness you will need
to add maybe a little bit but not asmuch the next stop sun-dried tomatoes
Kevin said tried sun-dried tomatoesthey're unreal I don't understand the
flavor where it comes from totallydifferent to it tomato really likes the
chewiness like I could just I could likehave a cologne that smells like
sun-dried tomatoes I think it'd bestoked scissors is gonna be your best
friend here go in there with thescissors dab dab dab dab it up use your
two fingers and then just hold and cutright into the ball you're gonna use
this meals so amazing because we like Isaid we have it like two three times a
week and you could just change up likethe flavor that you want it right so you
can go Mediterranean you could go moreof like a fruity style one and like you
just never get sick of it's super superversatile also another thing I wanted to
mention is because this is kind of a lotof work for like a quick lunch you could
make like three four times this put itinto a fridge you'll be good for a few
days and put into a Tupperware and begood a few days in the fridge so super
easy if you're doing like lunch prepokay so now we're going to mix this
around we're gonna add a little bit ofblack pepper
and by a little bit I mean quite a bitjust take a spoon here and mix this all
up it's really good it's like nice and I
wanna say that's all you really needbecause you've got all that olive
sun-dried-tomato adding oil flavor Idon't need extra flavor one thing I
might do actually I might add a littlejalapeno just the liquid I like my
chickpea salad sandwich with but theleft for tomato what was that I'm gonna
top it with just a nice fresh romatomato well I got a huge bone to pick
with tomato cutters even even like theprofessionals like the marketers I've
seen the market tomatoes where they cutit like this and you just looks like an
apple has been cut into it you know whenyou see an apple cut like that it's
brutal the only way to cut a tomatoslice guys and this is so important and
you'll you'll just be so happy I toldyou this is see the top there is shoot
it up from your belly so match match thetop with your belly button that's the
trick to remember ok so just hold it upthere every time you're gonna cut it
tomato just hold it up there take aphoto and tag me and if you like you
hold it right there and then put itright down ok and then wash this the
first cut no one really wants so I canjust go to the side but look how much
more beautiful that looksversus I'm not even going to show you
because I can't stand it that that badlybut you know what I mean that could be
cut it that way brutal I don't know ifhe's a roma roma tomatoes I kind of just
made that out I think they're TomatoesTomatoes all right now we're gonna toast
some bread but aimin you don't have atoaster
how you gonna toast bread great questionfriends we're about to show you we toast
our bread just like we make our pancakeson a pan okay so I'm gonna let that heat
up all right I'm gonna also just throw alittle bit of lettuce on there that's
optional as well right it's nice andtoasted not burnt but I lick it like a
bit of a crunch pocket I don't want asoggy sandwich you want that as a nice
base and that's why I like rye rye islike a really earthy chewy bread and it
pairs nicely with like the fresh aciditythat's going on in here I'm gonna start
with my bread lettuce is a great way toprevent SOG slug situation if I had a
paper towel I'd probably dry that fullybut I don't probably throw a few slabs
it to met and we're gonna build theseopen-faced now we're gonna go up like a
huge like we're not cheeping out you seethat consistence these how holds
together I love that okay it's a moistound I get the mic right in there
you like that guys I'm gonna dust up alittle bit of cayenne because as I said
my freestyle route you know I keep ithot and there you have it kids beautiful
Sunday afternoon sandwich in the parkgot the kids playing in the background
yes the bread is so crisp there's no SOGfactor I can hold that from the one side
there's no like drooping or anything youhave a crunch let's have it go
