Hi – Your links to your other veggie recipes and meatless posts aren’t working. I would like to have more veg recipes as our family is 95% vegetarian. My oldest still eats some chicken & the occasional pepperoni! Thanks!

If you like chick peas, and don’t eat a lot of meat, I have a GREAT recipe for you!!! Its basically “tuna”salad, only you used mashed chick peas. I actually put mine in a food processor to get them really mashed really well, but you can leave it as chunky as you like. Add mayo, chopped celery and onions, pickles or relish if you like (I use sweet relish, just a bit), seasonings, and mayo. I also add a little nutritional yeast to mine. (Nutritional yeast is a great form of protien if you don’t eat meat, and its got a great nutty flavor.) This is wonderful on top of a salad, crackers, or on whatever bread you’d make regular tuna sandwiches with. Its one of my staple lunches. Plus, a can of chick peas is a lot cheaper than a can of white tuna!!!

I love putting mashed potatoes on buns. Its so good that its *almost* my favorite part of Thanksgiving. I might have to try this one.

This sounds good. One of my favorite things to get at Indian restaurants is potatoes and chickpeas with curry flavor and this is kind of similar.
