Mexican Chickpea Hot Toastie with tomato, spinach

Makes 1 servings · About 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150g chickpeas, drained
  • 80g wholemeal bread
  • 90g tomato
  • 90g spinach
  • 30g tomato salsa
  • 4.6g olive oil

Equipment

  • hob
  • non-stick frying pan
  • knife
  • chopping board
  • spatula
  • kitchen scales
  • sandwich toaster or lidded frying pan
  • bowl
  • plate

Method

  1. Wash and finely slice the vegetables. Use ready-to-eat cooked fillings and fully cooked canned beans as listed; do not put raw meat into a sandwich toaster.
  2. Use ready-cooked canned or pouched chickpeas, drained, drained before weighing. Rinse canned pulses if appropriate. Dry pulses cannot be substituted directly.
  3. Mix any cold dressing with the filling; keep excess salad or wet tomato aside to serve alongside. Fill the bread with a manageable amount of the measured filling.
  4. Toast in a sandwich toaster, or a covered non-stick pan turning carefully, for about5–8 minutes until the bread is crisp and the filling is hot throughout. Cooked-meat fillings must be steaming hot in the centre. Serve all remaining salad/filling alongside and eat immediately.
