Barbecue-Flavoured Chickpea Sandwiches

Ingredients for Barbecue-Flavoured Chickpea Sandwiches

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or water

• 1 medium onion, quartered and sliced

• 1 medium red pepper, cut into short, narrow strips

• 160ml homemade No-Cook Barbecue Sauce, or store-bought

• 2 teaspoons good-quality chilli powder

• 350 to 475ml cooked or canned (drained and rinsed) chickpeas

• 2 large fresh pitas, preferably whole wheat

• Finely shredded cos lettuce to taste

• Fresh green sprouts, such as broccoli sprouts or pea shoots, to taste (optional)

• 2 medium ripe fresh tomatoes, thinly sliced

Heat the oil, broth, or water in a medium skillet. Add the onion and sauté. until golden. Add the pepper, barbecue sauce, and chilli powder, then stir in the chickpeas. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is reduced and envelops the chickpeas and veggies nicely, about 8 minutes.

Place whole or half pitas on each serving plate, depending on appetites and what else is being served. Insert a generous amount of lettuce and sprouts and a few slices of tomato into each pita, followed by the chickpea mixture. Eat at once, out of hand.

Substitute 230g of well-drained, well-blotted extra-firm tofu or tempeh, cut into 1/2- inch dice, for the chickpeas.

Add half a medium ripe avocado, peeled and thinly sliced, to the sandwiches with the lettuce and tomato.
