I was craving a crunchy salad the other day that was filling with something like chickpea or lentil balls, but wanted it to be simpler. So I made this crumble. The crumble has a ton of flavor that goes well with the crunchy veggies. No need to shape and bake or pan fry. Just use the crumble as is! with crunchy lettuce, cucumber, carrots, peanuts and whatever else, and a garlicky soy dressing to finish it off. 

Cooked chickpeas, ginger, carrots and peanuts are pulsed to form a coarse mixture. Add red curry paste or other flavors if you like. Chop up the salad and make the dressing. Assemble and serve! You can also use the chickpea mixture in wraps and tacos. You can toast the mixture in a pan with some sesame oil or bake in the oven to crisp slightly and use as well.

    Your stuff is always so inspiring. Love this idea, it’s funny as the chickpea is something we do all the time, we just call it a “Chickpea Pulse”. It actually my partner Joe that does them. I bug him all the time, because he’s kind of obsessed with his chickpea pulses πŸ™‚

    Keep up the great work!

    Wow this is so creative and looks delicious! I’m totally with you on loving crunchy salads. I feel like it makes them so much more satisfying. What you’ve done here with the chickpea crumble sounds insanely good… I wish I had brought it with me to work today instead of my same boring salad!

    I was sure that this would be a tasty dish, but it was actually totally delicious! πŸ˜‹
    I also put leftover crumble with some lettuce and half an avocado in a wrap and used the dressing for dipping. This worked out very well, too. 😊
