Ingredients
- 1 baguette or Tunisian khobz
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas warm, with some cooking liquid reserved
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1–2 tbsp harissa adjust to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 hard-boiled egg sliced

- 4–6 olives black or green, halved
- Juice of ½ lemon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chickpeas: Warm the chickpeas with their cooking liquid, garlic, and cumin. Mash lightly with a fork so they’re partly creamy but still chunky.
- Season: Stir in harissa, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.
- Prepare the bread: Slice the baguette lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Lightly drizzle the inside with olive oil.
- Fill the sandwich: Spoon in the warm chickpea mixture. Top with slices of hard-boiled egg, tuna (if using), and olives.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with parsley, close the sandwich, and enjoy warm.
