Ingredients
  

  • 4 large portobello mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp. liquid aminos
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 1 1/4 cup chickpeas drained (or one can or box)
  • 1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp. Veganaise
  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts
  • 1/4 cup scallions chopped
  • 1/4 cup parsley chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper or to taste
  • 1 medium roma tomato cut into spears lengthwise
  • 1 cup baby greens chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Remove the stem from the mushrooms. Be careful to keep the mushrooms intact.
  • Make a marinade by mixing the olive oil, liquid aminos and lemon juice. Mix well until blended.
  • Cover the mushrooms in the marinade. Place in an oven-proof baking dish, gill side up, and roast in the oven for about 20-25 minutes. You may need to check the mushrooms after 15 minutes and turn them over if the up-side is getting too brown and dry.
  • While the mushrooms are roasting, make your chickpea salad. In a small mixing bowl, combine the chickpeas, Dijon mustard, vegannaise, hemp hearts, scallions, and parsley. Add salt and pepper to preferred taste.
  • Smash and blend the ingredients together using the tines of a fork, a potato masher, or you’re your bare hands. Mix and smash until it is like the consistency of chicken salad, but with some chickpeas still intact.
  • When the mushrooms are ready, remove from the oven and let cool. Once they are cool, use a paper towel to pat the mushrooms dry.
  • Assemble your sandwiches by adding first the chopped greens, then the tomatoes, then a scoop of chickpea salad. Enjoy immediately like an open faced sandwich, or with a knife and fork.
  • Feel free to improvise with ingredients and toppings. Things like dill pickles, chopped celery, roasted peppers, and olives would all make great additions to this dish.
