You’re not still messing around with deviled eggs, are you? Try these delicious deviled chickpea bites and bring your buffet table into the twenty-first century.
To make the filling, throw the chickpeas, vinegar, shallot, oil, water, nutritional yeast, mustard, and salt into a blender or food processor and let it run until it looks all creamy. If need be, add another tablespoon of water to get it going.
To assemble the bites, smear a little of the chickpea mix on the bread slices so that the cucumbers stick, then place 2 slices of cucumber on the bread so that the surface is mostly covered.
Now you can just spoon 1 ½ tablespoons worth of the chickpea mix on the cucumber slices.
Sprinkle the chives over the top and shake on some paprika for looks. Serve within a couple hours of making so that the bread and cucumbers don’t get soggy.
Notes
This makes about 18 bites, enough for 4 to 6 people.
