Jackfruit and Chickpea Mock Tuna Salad

Servings: 
7
Preparation Time: 
20 min
Ingredients: 
1 can jackfruit in brine or salt (not syrup)
1/8 sheet of nori
1 tablespoon boiling water
4 spring onions (or equal amount of alternate onion)
1 shallot (or equal amount of alternate onion)
2 cloves garlic
1 strip celery
1/2 cup Earth Balance mayonnaise
1 tablespoon capers
1/4 cup dill relish
1 tablespoon white miso
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 handful parsley or other fresh herbs you have around (about 1/4 cup)
1 can chickpeas
Bread
Daiya jalapeno garlic havarti wedge, sliced (or alternative flavor)
Toppings: sprouts, tomato, watercress, avocado or any other as you prefer.
Instructions: 

1) Jackfruit from a can has a soft consistency and briny flavor. To get rid of the brine, rinse multiple times, soak in water for about 1 hour, then rinse again and drain. To toughen the consistency, broil on non-stick foil at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes or until jackfruit is dried out and starting to brown around the edges. Mid way through, remove from oven and pull jackfruit apart with 2 forks to attain desired appearance, then return to oven.

2) While jackfruit is browning: crumple nori and add to food processor or blender and blend. Add boiling water and blend.

3) Add spring onion, shallot, garlic, celery and pulse until ingredients are chopped.

4) Add mayonnaise, capers, relish, miso, nutritional yeast, parsley and blend.

5) Add chickpeas and pulse until chickpeas are chopped but not blended.

6) Remove jackfruit from oven, transfer to large bowl and allow to cool. In the meantime, place 2 slices of bread on hot foil, add 1 slice of Daiya on on piece of bread and return to oven just until Daiya melts and browns a bit.

7) Mix chickpea mixture into jackfruit by hand. Spread 1/2 cup of the mock tuna salad on hot toast with melted Daiya, add preferred toppings, and enjoy!
