This vegan tuna is simply amazing. It's so easy to make and tastes remarkably close to actual tuna, no really it does. It's wonderful on sandwiches for a vegan tuna salad sandwich!

Notes

  1. We used one 15-ounce (425g) can of chickpeas, drained. If you would prefer to use cooked chickpeas (not canned) then the amount to use is 1 and ½ cups. 
  2. Nori - an easy way to 'chop' nori is with a scissors. 
  3. Leftovers keep very well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
  4. This is divine served on open faced sandwiches with lettuce and sliced tomato and makes enough to top 4 slices of bread.
