Mixed Bean With Tofu Sandwich Recipe

Begin with one “loaf” of pita bread (the round, hollow bread — often covered with sesame seeds — that’s sold at health food and Middle Eastern stores and some supermarkets) for every two sandwiches that you intend to make. Cut each loaf in half with scissors.

Soak one-half pound of dried garbanzos (chick peas) and one-half pound of dried red beans in separate containers overnight. Cook the beans in two different pots — each with enough water to fully cover the legumes — for 30 to 45 minutes or until they squash when pressed with the tines of a fork.

Drain and combine the beans, then mash them (Leona uses a potato masher) until they’re broken into a pasty pulp but not too mushy. Add one small, finely chopped onion, half a green pepper (also finely chopped), one drained 11- to 12-ounce package of store-bought tofu, one-half teaspoon of garlic powder, about two tablespoons of soy sauce or Dr. Bronner’s Bouillon (this takes the place of salt), and enough mayonnaise to bind all the ingredients.
