This vegan tuna is a simple idea for speedy lunches – it takes less than 15 minutes and is made from chickpeas! Just make sure you have a good quality wrap or some nice crusty bread and salad to serve it with.

It's a bit of a vegan spin on a classic tuna mayo sandwich filling - we think it's a rad, cruelty-free, healthier option. You could even add red pepper and sweetcorn to it to make more of a 'tuna salad' sandwich.

This is the most delicious sand-which filling. I made them as part of an afternoon tea spread with lots of non-vegans and they all said this was their favourite filling and asked for the recipe. I have also added capers to mine in the past for a little extra zing! 🙂
