I love chickpeas, there really is no rhyme or reason why I love them so much, and this Chickpea Vegan Tuna Recipe is just one way I express my ever love! But while I have your attention maybe we can figure this out together? I remember the moment I learned hummus was made from chickpeas aka garbanzo beans. My rolls widened with excitement, I had to be about 11 or 12, and I wanted to know what else came from chickpeas. However, I wouldn’t find out until years later as I began to cook for myself more in high school. (And thank GOD because my Mother, God Bless her, can not cook to save her darling soul). Anyhow, I learned so much about chickpeas and still learning to this very day : ) Don’t worry I’ll be sure to share more of love and recipes of chickpeas.

Notes
**Dulse can be off-putting if you’re used to the taste. Sometimes I make the Chickpea of the Sea with it and other times I don’t. No fret with or without it, it tastes great! See what works for you.
**If you’re making this without a food processor it’s just as easy with some elbow grease! Use a masher (or fork) to mash the chickpeas. Chop all of your veggies well, grab a large mixing bowl, and with your best elbow whip up the Chickpea of the Sea!
