This is one of the simplest, easiest, and delicious recipes I like to make. It also has a good amount of turmeric in it, which I have been hearing so much of the benefits of recently. Pairing the almonds with the chickpeas gives it a firmer texture and the apples give it a nice crunch. It’s really good in a wrap or some sprouted rye bread as a sandwich, or even as a topping for a salad.

Ingredients:

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/4 cup whole almonds
• 1/2 cup vegenaise
• 1 tsp curry powder
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 chopped apple of choice

Directions:

1. Place the chickpeas and almonds in a food processor and chop thoroughly. The almonds give the chickpeas a more chicken like texture.
2. Transfer the chickpeas and almonds into a large bowl (bigger is better, I used a bowl that was too small at first that caused some overflow.
3. Add the vegenaise, curry powder, turmeric, and nutritional yeast, and stir well, until the ingredients are all combined.
4. Fold in the chopped apple.
5. Serve in a wrap with lettuce, in regular sandwich bread, or on top of a salad.
