Method
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas and tip them into a bowl. Mash roughly with a fork, leaving plenty of texture.
- Stir in the vegan mayonnaise, the dijon mustard and the juice of half the lemon.
- Chop the celery sticks, gherkins and dill finely, and roughly chop the capers if they are large. Stir everything into the chickpeas.
- Taste, then add salt, black pepper and more lemon juice until it tastes bright.
- Cut 4 slices from the sourdough and toast them. Pull apart the little gem lettuce leaves.
- Lay the lettuce on 2 slices of toast, pile on the chickpea mixture and top with the other slices. Cut in half and serve.
Tip Mash the chickpeas by hand, not in a processor, so some stay whole. The filling keeps for a day in the fridge, but add the lettuce just before eating.
