Instructions
Prep
Drain and flake 180g canned tuna. Drain and rinse 120g chickpeas. Finely chop parsley, dill, mint, red onion, celery, and capers. Zest 1 lemon and juice it. Measure all spices, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes.
Build
In a small bowl, roughly mash chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole. Whisk in olive oil, lemon juice, zest, tahini, Dijon, sumac, cumin, salt, pepper, and chilli flakes until smooth.
Build 2
Add flaked tuna, parsley, dill, mint, red onion, celery, and capers to the chickpea mixture. Smash together with a fork until evenly combined but still chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning with lemon or sumac.
Finish
Transfer the smash to an airtight container or glass tub. Refrigerate up to 3 days; flavour deepens after 24 hours as the chickpeas marinate in the herby dressing.
Plate
Toast 1 slice wholemeal sourdough or warm 1 wholemeal wrap per person. Scoop roughly 135g of smash onto each slice of bread. Serve with cherry tomatoes, cucumber sticks, or sliced bell pepper on the side for extra fibre and crunch.
