Smashed Chickpea Sandwich

6/14/18


Little known fact: I wrote most of my cookbook at Starbucks.  We were on vacation for some of the process, and occasionally I would stay up late and get things done with the TV on mute (and wine in hand), but ultimately, I found I was most productive at a coffee shop.  Prior to the writing portion of the book, I designed a small office space in my house and was psyched to use it.  However, every time I sat down, I'd find something else to do...like color coordinate my bookshelf or update my calendar.  Occasionally, I would find myself wandering downstairs to organize the tupperware drawer.  My point being, I could NOT focus at home, ever.  So, the nice baristas at Starbucks knew me, my drink, and I got to know all the other regulars who were there every day for whatever reason.  

THEN, a new coffee shop opened in town called For Five (I swear I'm getting to the sandwich part of this blog) and I haven't been back to Starbucks since.  I feel sort of badly about this.  Like I used all my new barista friends and then dumped them, high and dry.  Sure, I doubt they care, because after all they are Starbucks and serve millions of customers every day, but I still feel guilt because I always feel guilt.  Then, I add up all the money I spent on green tea lattes writing my book and that feeling dissolves.  STARBUCKS YOU OWE ME A THANK YOU CARD.  

Ok, so the sandwich.  At For Five, they make a Smashed Chickpea Sandwich that I was very excited to recreate at home.  It's essentially garbanzo beans, smashed, with greek yogurt, a little mayo, fresh squeezed lemon juice and some spices, served between toasted bread with whatever toppings you like (here: sprouts, cucumber and avocado).  It's a delicious lunch, and the beans provide a nice source of protein to a vegetarian dish.  Recipe below!  

*Side note: I find cucumbers completely worthless unless they are on a sandwich.  Sorry about it.
