For the Sandwich
- 1 small ciabatta roll
- 1/2 roma tomato, sliced
- 1/4 red or green bell pepper, sliced
- 3 fresh basil leaves
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon shallot, thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 garlic clove For the Chickpea Mash
- 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
- 6 pitted good-quality olives
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally. If using a tall ciabatta loaf, pull out some of the soft inner crumbs to form a cavity.
- Step 2: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over the inner-sides of the bread and rub the garlic clove over both sides. The garlic will break down as you rub it. Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
- Step 3: Place all Chickpea Mash ingredients in a bowl. Use a fork to roughly mash the chickpeas until a chunky consistency is reached.
- Step 4: Layer the tomatoes over the bottom of the bread. Top with the shallots, peppers, chickpea mash, and basil. Drizzle with another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and then cover with the top bread half, pressing the two sides firmly together.
- Serve: Enjoy fresh or wrap tightly to infuse the flavors for up to 12 hours before serving.
