This is my new favorite sandwich! I came across this recipe at The Abolitionist Vegan Society website and I thought it looked good. I had no idea how good until I tried it - it's unbelievable! I used the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus (see recipe below) - chickpeas over chickpeas - yum! The texture is creamy, crunchy, and rich, and the sandwich is extremely satisfying!

**If you find your hummus is a bit thick, thin it out with a tablespoon or two of water. This will make for a perfect consistency to use as a binder without being overly thick and/or drying as well.
