Number Of Ingredients 11

15 - to 16-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup vegan mayonnaise
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons yellow mustard, or more, to taste
1/2 teaspoon curry powder, or more, to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives or scallion
8 to 10 ripe plum (Roma) tomatoes
Paprika for topping
Shredded lettuce or baby greens, optional

Steps:

Combine the chickpeas, mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder, and pepper in a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse on and off until the mixture is nicely melded, but don't puree-leave a little texture. Add the chives or scallion through the feed tube and pulse on and off a few times to whirl in. If you don't have a food processor, simply mash the chickpeas well in a bowl, and stir in the mayonnaise, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, mustard, curry powder, pepper, and chives. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop out the seedy center with a spoon. You'll be left with a neat shell (save what you've scooped out for another use, such as blending into a juice or sauce). Stuff the tomatoes generously with the chickpea mixture. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve on a platter atop a bed of lettuce or greens.
