Mock-Tuna Salad Sandwich

You can make a complete meal by combining these sandwiches with a small side salad or soup. The dulse and capers give this pâté a flavor reminiscent of tuna fish salad, without the fishy taste.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 cup sunflower seeds, soaked

¹⁄₂ teaspoon mustard powder

¹⁄₄ cup chopped celery

¹⁄₄ cup chopped carrots

2 tablespoons chopped onion

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon capers (optional)

1 tablespoon dulse flakes

4  raw crackers

1. In a food processor with an S blade, process all ingredients, except the crackers, together. The resulting pâté should be well mixed and slightly chunky.
2. Lay four flax crackers onto a plate. Spread a thick layer of the pâté onto each cracker, and place a second cracker on the top to create the sandwich.

Sandwiches

The sandwich is named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was an eighteenth-century English aristocrat. He wanted an easy snack to eat while playing card games and the sandwich was perfect. In raw cuisine, tasty sandwiches can be made with crackers or flatbreads. You can be creative and garnish them with many different types of pâtés, sauces, and vegetables.
