Equipment

  • food processor or blender can also use a fork or potato masher

Ingredients

  • 1 can chickpeas
  • 4-5 sticks hearts of palm
  • 2 Tbsp plant mayonnaise
  • ½ rib celery finely diced
  • ¼ red onion finely diced
  • 1 Tbsp capers
  • ½ Tbsp dijion mustard
  • ½ fresh lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • In a food processor add 1 can chickpeas, 4-5 sticks hearts of palm, 2 Tbsp plant mayonnaise, ½ rib celery, ¼ red onion, 1 Tbsp capers, ½ Tbsp dijion mustard, ½ fresh lemon, ¼ cup fresh parsley, and salt. Pulse for a few seconds until everything seems well mixed. Be careful not to over process, you want a little texture.
  • Give the mixture a taste and make any adjustments you'd like.
  • You can place the mixture into an airtight container in the fridge while you prepare the tomatoes, this also allows for the flavors to develop.
  • Wash and dry your tomatoes. Using a pairing knife at a 45 degree angle, cut the tops of the tomatoes off. Similarly to how you would a pumpkin for carving.
  • Use a spoon to scoop out the insides, then take the "tuna" mixture and fill each tomato. Serve cold.
