Smashed chickpea salad is one of my absolute favourite sandwich fillings. Kala Namak salt brings a savouriness and pungency to the chickpea salad that's so fab. Grilled sourdough, melty cheese, what could be wrong with this?

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Add the drained & rinsed chickpeas to a medium sized mixing bowl and mash them up with a fork / potato masher. No whole chickpeas should remain. Add the onion, celery, dill, and parsley to the bowl and stir everything together. Lastly, sprinkle in the black salt & cracked pepper, and fold in the mayo until everything is nice and combined. Add additional mayo for a creamier salad / if needed. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours settle together.
Preheat a grill pan to just about medium. Brush your sourdough with EVOO on both sides and grill until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Transfer the grilled bread to a parchment lined baking sheet.
Spoon chickpea salad on to each toastie, you should be left with enough for about 2 more toasties. The salad can be refrigerated in a sealed container for 4 days. Divide the cheese between both toasties and sprinkle each with pepper flakes.
Set your oven to BROIL HIGH / 500 F. Once preheated, toss the tray under the broiler until the cheese is gooey and melty. Remove carefully and set on to a wire cooling rack. Transfer your toasties to serving plates and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives, and some gorgeous pea shoots. ENJOY!

Notes

This smashed salad would probably make 4 toasties, so expect to have some leftover. Seal and keep refrigerated for 4 days.
Prep time includes 30 minutes of chill time for the salad prior to assembling.
