About

A coronation chicken sandwich used to be one of my favourites as a teenager; my parents would buy the pre-mixed deli tubs of it from the supermarket and I would eat it straight from the tub. Here’s my vegan take on the classic – just as comforting and sweetly spiced as the original.

Method

First drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid (for aquafaba) for future use. Rinse thoroughly, and transfer to a small saucepan. Cover with cold water, and place on a medium hob ring. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer, for 20 minutes, until the chickpeas are very soft.
Meanwhile, make the coronation dressing. V
