Introduction

Even my hubby loves this recipe. I try to keep it on hand for quick lunches and easy dinners. It's great on toasted bread with soy cheese and a big tomato slice. Even my hubby loves this recipe.

    Yes, i have made a similar recipe, except I coarsly chopped the drained beans in a blender then add mayo and relish. Tastes like the real thing - 5/13/09

    Thank you for posting this. I modified it and made it into a veg "tuna" melt. For awhile I had used Tuno until Whole Foods stopped carrying it, but this is way better. I just had this for breakfast and want it again for lunch already. - 10/18/10

    For extra "fishy" taste, I skipped the mustard and added a little bit of shredded seaweed (find dried at a Chinese grocer). That helps contribute to the tuna taste without adding much (virtually nothing!) to the calories. Try a bit of diced celery & onion for texture. - 2/20/14

    Oh my lanta!! I do NOT like garbanzo beans, and I just couldn't fathom this recipe tasting like "the real thing" with BEANS instead of tuna - but boy was I ever wrong! SO delicious! I added some plain mustard instead, and two chopped hard boiled eggs. I will definitely make this again and again!! - 5/11/10

    Great! I also like cutting back the mustard and adding some nutritional yeast and garlic powder/pepper. This is one of my favorite quick lunches, so I love seeing other versions. - 4/25/10
