3 vegan back-to-school sandwiches | hot for food

[@kw5462]

OMG. I made the chickpea tuna recipe and it is amazing!! I left out the pickles and celery and for the spices I used salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, paprika and garlic powder. This stuff tastes great as a sandwich filler but also just as a dip to serve with bread, chips or crackers!! Thanks so much for the great recipe :)

[@LittleVeganBird]

but does it taste even slightly like tuna ?

[@kw5462]

Duckling Duck​ No. I make mine to taste like a curry-spiced filling. I call it chickpea sandwich filling. I've heard in other vegan recipes that you can add seaweed or sea vegetable flakes to recipes to give them more of that oceany, fishy flavor.

[@jordanchristine5379]

+Duckling Duck the hot for food recipe did taste like tuna

[@LittleVeganBird]

I tried it, on a scale of 0 to 10 i would say it tastes 4/10 like tuna.

[@MissStyleByLauren]

This is seriously going to save my life being vegan at school for the first time this year THANK YOU

[@jupiterdusk2510]

Me too!! I was vegetarian for 4 years and I just recently decided to go vegan and school is about to start so this was really helpful

[@SweetPotatoSoul]

I loved all of these fillings. My favorite would definitely be the chickpea tuna though. I can't get enough of that stuff :) I loved how you tossed in some Old Bay. That's where it's at!

[@hotforfood]

+SweetPotatoSoul thanks! It is so tasty :)

[@majosalascalderon]

+hot for food I love it too but what is inside Old Bay? Can't get it down here :(

[@jageenperson]

@@majosalascalderon I live in Sweden and I ordered it online. It kinda just smells like paprika and lots of bay leaves tho, it's a bit spicy

[@Veganlovlie]

Chickpea tuna is my favourite. I much much prefer it to the regular tuna I used to have in my pre-vegan days.

[@hotforfood]

+Veganlovlie | Vegan Mauritian-Fusion Cuisine us too!

[@marystestkitchen]

CARBS BABY!!! That curry chick'un sandwich looked so good!

[@KimSiever]

I’m so looking forward to doing the chickpea tuna salad. I loved tuna salad, and I think this will be a tasty way to get my protein, iron, and B vitamin needs. Seems so easy, too. Thanks for these recipes.

[@hotforfood]

YAY! SO glad you liked it :D

[@KimSiever]

hot for food I haven’t tried it yet, but I hope to in the next few days. 😉

[@mushroomburrito]

I just tried making it today. I'm really impressed! I mean I've never had real tuna salad in my life and I hated the scent of real tuna but this chickpea tuna is so delicious! I just put it on a bed of greens and ate as a salad :D

[@killersoda1530]

if you say so

[@Racohi]

If you used to love tuna salad, then check out the video ( Mock tuna salad) on (cookingwithplants) channel!! It's impressive!! Taste and feels like real tuna !

[@egan3080]

I made the chickpea tuna sandwich today and it was delicious. Thanks for sharing!

[@oreocookiixxcream]

[@hotforfood]

+the-exo-sphere thank you so much! we're working on it haha And thank you for subscribing. we only started this channel and posting consistently at the beginning of the year! :)

[@kelsieb9509]

I tried the chickpea salad sandwich and it is so so so delicious!! I was skeptical but it was so good. I didn't put the old bay seasoning just some salt and pepper. And I left out the celery because I hate raw celery.

[@kelsieb9509]

Also this is a really good recipe for me for work because we don't have a microwave.

[@lauralu04]

Oh my goodness. I can't get over how amazing the chickpea tuna is!! I added a sheet of nori to enhance the seafood experience and served it with homemade naan! SO GOOD! Thanks so much for sharing your talent with all of us!

[@adorkable123098]

JUST OPEN A DAMN RESTAURANT AND fRANCHISE IT EVENTUALLY AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

[@espressofletch]

for real!! their restaurant would be the freaking best!!!

[@graypaint]

restaurants are one of the most stressful businesses to manage tho miss me with that

[@kathrynlippa1949]

This was the first video of yours that I ever watched and I was HOOKED. Over a year later, you're still putting out amazing content. Sometimes I rewatch this one because it really helped guide me on my vegan journey. Lots of love to you both!

[@chewiella]

i made the tuna salad for today's lunch, it rocks!!! thanks so much for the recipe :)))

[@hotforfood]

YAAY!

[@annasanchez9348]

+Pinkerellie thank you!

[@stephankreidl1999]

+Pinkerellie yes indeed.

[@kimberlyharrissmiles2805]

Im trying it in just a few as well :)

[@haileysuniga8374]

Tried the chickpea 'tuna' today and it was so good! I'm obsessed and it was really easy. I'm definitely gonna be making it a ton in the future!

[@ravenclawawyeah]

I just made the chickpea sandwich bc i happened to have most of the ingredients and it was soooooooo good! I didn't have celery or lemon juice but it was still turned out great. I'm so glad I found this channel!

[@hotforfood]

+ravenclawawyeah AWESOME! We love the chickpea spread.... so easy and delish. Glad you loved it too :)

[@jennabratley5631]

I always come back to this video, love these recipes! Have tried the tuna and chicken multiple times and continue to make them! Love!!

[@hotforfood]

yaaay! thanks :D

[@ambermaggi1446]

Ive been vegetarian for three years and finally made the switch to vegan a couple of weeks ago. The first vegan recipe i tried was the chickpea tuna salad sandwich and let me tell you it taste very similar to the real thing! Its so good and simple! Thank you so much for all your creative recipes!

[@pickletoes88]

You guys are beyond adorable, and your recipes are LIFESAVING!

[@beccadallas]

I work from home, and have KZbin on autoplay. The Chickpea Tuna caught my ear today. I cooked a pound of dried chickpeas in my Instant Pot tonight and made a double batch. Having things like this on hand make it so much easier for me to eat better, since I eat all my meals at home. This is a life changer! Thank you.

[@angharad.9743]

I haven’t followed your exact recipe for chickpea tuna but I’ve had a similar one and it’s amazing. Personally I like to fry the chickpeas first to make them softer

[@MissBeeTownsend]

I just ate the edamame recipe (I only had green baby peas but it was still delish) on top of penne for dinner and it was PHENOMENAL! Thank you!

[@hotforfood]

awesome! thank you!

[@wannabite]

AWESOME healthy recipes.thank you for sharing.

[@hotforfood]

+WannaBite thanks for watching :)

[@clotildelasson4261]

Just tested chickpea tuna recipe (and except the fact we don't have old bay seasoning in France) I love it, I dig it ! Thanks for all your recipes guys, keep going !

[@hotforfood]

+Lasson Clotilde so glad :) thank you!

[@danielmoyle8794]

Just made your chickpea tuna recipe ( it's summer in Australia!) had to substitute gherkin spread for the pickle and I used a small pickled onion rather than onion. I also used your sunflower seed salad dressing as I had no mayo on hand. So delicious! Love your work!!!

[@hotforfood]

welll that sounds like a good re-do!!! thanks!

[@sophibay]

Ahh so good! A couple notes to get the most out of your ingredients: save the chickpea water (aquafaba) for vegan meringue, and dry them off after they've been rinsed and the mixture will stick together a little better. Also, for those who don't like raisins, dried cranberries would work well too. I usually give mine a rough chop first! :)

[@kelsannemarie]

You guys are so much fun! Love these :) also just like to say that I've been transitioning for almost a year now justt tying to learn and develop because I know the term vegan is not a word to throw around lightly. I'm going to school and moving away from which I think will be so beneficial because I won't have those gross yet tempting items lying around. I will definitely be using your channel as a go to when I need inspiration or these classic meals. Thank you for all that you do! You guys are the best xx

[@hotforfood]

+Kelsey Anderson that's awesome! we're so happy to help and I definitely get what you mean. It's ok to transition at whatever pace you need and the more you give your body the good stuff the more it will want it/crave it! Thanks for sharing your journey with us

[@christinacalarco4181]

I haven't tried the edamame mash yet but I've tried the other two, and they are sooo good! Great recipes!😀😀

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

I might try that Chickpea tuna sandwich\

[@Vfxvf]

+bubba123 tried the edamame one tday , and family loved it , they said vegan food isnt tht bad after all bahhaha

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

[@tjwoodruff7931]

[@lucythompson9040]

[@AikoSea]

Tj Woodruff did it taste like tuna?

[@veganpeace7890]

I love chickpea no-tuna salad! I'm going to have to try the edamame mash for sure! Great video!

[@ashlematique]

this is rocking my world right now. YESSS. glad i am going grocery shopping today!

[@abetweene]

I would never have thought to make these combinations, which is ok because thats why i watch this channel! Definetly adding to the test kitchen list; Check

[@hotforfood]

+abetweene awesome. hope you like it!

[@JennsScrapbookNook]

These are great ideas! FYI beyond meat has the vegan chicken curry recipe on their blog. You guys were close - they add mango chutney and scallions I think. Love the edamame smash idea!!

[@dylancurry1178]

I've been vegetarian since I was 13...so going on 10 years, but I recently made the switch to vegan. And this channel has been amazing for the transition! I just made all three as my meal prep for my work lunches this upcoming week and of course taste-tested along the way, and they were all sooooo good! So thanks guys!

[@hotforfood]

+Dylan Curry THANK YOU!!

[@emvoneuw]

all your videos are amazing - thank yooouuuuu

[@hotforfood]

+Emily von Euw thank you for watching

[@sydneysmith1017]

I've made the chickpea tuna salad before but with just vegan mayo, mustard, chopped cucumber (cause I didn't have celery) and some pepper, but I never thought of putting all that in it! It was good before but this looks so delicious I have to try it.

[@robbie1321]

All of these look really good! Definitely going to try.

[@KatherineMcG]

I'm not going back to school but I am definitely going to make those sandwich fillings. Is it lunch time yet?...my mouth is watering haha.

[@SarahWarman80]

+Katherine McGarry Exactly!!

[@VeganArtistAsh]

+Sarah Burns Warman to lazy to wait for lunch made it now! thats the best part on this lifestyle...can eat it any time of day!

[@BreannLaFaye]

Just what I needed! I start nursing school in a few days and I needed some good food for those 8am-5pm days with one break! Lol

[@jorgeandnaomiluna629]

OH MY WORD! I saw these sandwiches today and got a few ingredients for the chickpea tuna sandwich and I am like mind blown away!. I am a new Vegan and this sandwich is AMAZING! Thank you!

[@hotforfood]

YAAAY! you're welcome. Thanks for watching :D

[@kocaligirl13]

thank you!! all your videos are fantastic! So excited to have found your channel!

[@hotforfood]

+kocaligirl13 welcome to hot for food! Thank you so much!

[@princess0sousue]

The curry one looks delicious. I love thinly peeled carrots in my sandwich!

[@melindamelo544]

Just made the edamame mash recipe and it's so yummy! I'm surprised there aren't more comments about it. My mom and I were eating it with crackers and its really good just like that, on it's own. Thanks for the recipe! I love your channel and What I Eat In A Day's! :)

[@Julia-oh3qr]

You two deserve SO many more subscribers! Everything looks super delicious

[@lixinxu2614]

I watch tons of recipe videos and hot for food recipes are the only ones that I actually make! The tuna is the best ever! Chicken is good too. Thanks so much for making my vegan journey a lot more fun~

[@meowismeify]

Love your videos! You are saving my life! I became vegan for ethical reasons but i'm such a picky eater and couldn't find any delicious vegan recipes. But thanks to your channel I can eat delicious and flavorful vegan meals!!

[@BeautifulEarth180]

I've never found a channel such as yours with recipes as great as these!!! I am no longer a struggling vegan thanks to you guys

[@hotforfood]

Aww yay!! Vegan shouldn't be a struggle! Glad we've helped xo thank you!!

[@SamanthaSueWatch]

I can't wait to try these recipes! I have been on a sandwich binge lately teehee

[@KatieDickinson]

Eagerly taking notes on this one! Definitely in need of a few sack-lunch recipes that don't need refrigeration. And anything that gives me an "excuse" to buy pickles will always win my

[@ProsaicDream]

Looks amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@CognitionSpeaks1]

If you work in an office, I would even pack the sandwich separately as the filling could slosh around if you carry a backpack or a tote bag that isn't wide enough. I used to do that all the time so my sandwich wouldn't be mushy by the time I ate it. Gotta have that freshly toasted bread, mmmm. That edamame tuna looks so good.

[@hotforfood]

+Jen D well in a container it would be ok?!

[@CognitionSpeaks1]

Theoretically, yes, if it was in a stable container. I have a backpack so my containers are on their sides until I lay my bag down.

[@vegtrisha108]

Literally have been binge watching all your guys' videos!! I LOVE THEM ALL!

[@ree517]

You guys are amazing! Can't wait to try these!

[@ollybranford]

Just made the chickpea tuna. Absolutely fantastic!!! My kitchen would be a very boring place without you guy's.

[@jordanchristine5379]

Do more back to school videos! What to put in a lunchbox would be so helpful

[@kendallhenry5684]

Made both the chickpea tuna and the curry chickun salad. (Not to mention the coconut chia parfait I had this morning from your other video and the banana bread from the other video I made last night) Just ate the chickpea tuna on the best grainy/seedy/toasted bread (#nowonderbread) and it was SO GOOD! I never really ate tuna sandwiches growing up but as an adult I liked egg salad and it reminds me of an egg salad sandwich, but better.. I can't wait to try the curry chickun I have in the fridge! I plan to try alllll the recipes that you guys post! I've been playing with the idea of going vegan for the past few months. I've watched the docs, educated myself as much as I can and in the end I just feel so good physically on a vegan diet. Plus, it's great for the environment and of course, the innocent animals. I've probably watched all your videos multiple times and you both make vegan easy, fun, and most of all delicious! Your videos have got me in the kitchen more than I ever have been before and with all the delicious recipes (beautifully captured and edited) I really don't feel like I'm missing out on any of my favorite foods. I just wanted to say THANK YOU, and please keep the videos coming :) Big fan- Kendall

[@aharo92]

You guys are amazing thank you so much! ❤️🌿

[@HarunNaeb]

[@hotforfood]

+Harun Naeb thank you so much :)

[@cmannequin]

Ive made this chickpea tuna so many times and love it *^* gave it to some of my non vegan friends without telling them what it was and they all loved it !!!

[@nerdydancer900]

[@cherieferster]

[@hotforfood]

+Cherie Ferster thank YOU so much

[@perfumaphilia3246]

Just made the chickpea tuna and it's delicious! I'm looking forward to toasting some rosemary olive oil bread and making a killer sandwich right now.

[@saec1997]

Absolutely love the chickpea tuna idea

[@KatLikesCatz]

just made the "tuna" salad for lunch.... so good! I put some nutritional yeast on top for some cheesy goodness mmmmm

[@hotforfood]

+KatLikesCatz sounds delish!!

[@chillla161]

the best textures come from salads and scrambled veggies. three thumbs up

[@anaaadrienne5745]

I tried the chickpea tuna one except I didn't add celery but added red bell pepper and sweet corn, it was actually good and looked like tuna too! I advise adding sweet corn It tastes good with it and it's what I put into tuna when I used to eat it.

[@anaaadrienne5745]

Also I didn't have bay seasoning and I used white onions because I didn't have red ones

[@manny239007]

Made the chick pea sandwich and it was great, thanks for the recipe

[@VeganArtistAsh]

these are amazing to save money! thanks!

[@ohheythereitsalexis]

This may sound weird, but do you think avocado could work instead of mayo?? I just really dislike the taste of mayo, but I want to try to make something similar. The sandwiches looked sooo good!

[@hotforfood]

+Alexis B I think so yes. I believe others have been doing that with this recipe. Let us know what you think!

[@SarahWarman80]

All 3 are badass! I can't wait to make them!

[@KristenGenton]

The chickpea tuna is soooo good!!!! That's one thing I miss as a vegan but not anymore!! I'm always going to have this in my fridge 😍

[@lanasmith1641]

[@timc.2860]

Thank you so much for this! Incredible.

[@Nit2003Nat]

That chick'un salad looks awesome!

[@JulieOParkCity]

You could make a wrap using collard greens 😀

[@emilyheller76]

Does anyone know how long these keep? I'd love to make them and keep them in the fridge for a while

[@darincabrera3918]

These look awesome just maybe a question or two lol... anyway as far as vegan mayo my local supermarket for whatever reason doesn't have it so I found silken tofu to be a good sub or recipes with mayo. Is this a good option and on the chik un I am not a big fan of raisins how about dried cranberries as an alternative. Thanks for any responses

[@davestowers5389]

Great ideas, thanks!

[@miri4681]

These sandwiches look great! Can't wait to try them out! :)

[@jupiterdusk2510]

I was vegetarian for 4 years and I just recently decided to go vegan and school is about to start so this was really helpful

[@jonniewilde]

Thanks for those ideas, so simple too

[@hotforfood]

+Forgotten Jon you are welcome!

[@just0Glee]

what could you use instead of vegan mayo?

[@hotforfood]

+Carina Torres some people are saying hummus?! I dunno... we love vegan mayo!

[@just0Glee]

thanks!!

[@sereneebaby]

How much of a shelf life does vegan mayo have, when using it in dishes? Like, could those meals last most of the week, or would it go bad quickly?

[@hotforfood]

+sereneebaby all week for sure!

[@HabenAmbessa]

great ideas! gonna try them out soon.

[@farhita6282]

happy I subscribed!! I'm new to being a vegan, and I'm on my pre university year so I'm always busy and stressed. it's sometimes hard to find something vegan to eat :/ hope I'll get to make your amazing recipes tho! thanks for the great work 🙌❤

[@kongkearmell5886]

so glad i found your channel! i'm not a vegan but i love eating vegan foods.
