This tuna and chickpea spread with scallions uses five ingredients and comes together in five minutes. Blend canned tuna, cooked chickpeas, chopped scallions, softened butter, and salt in a small blender until evenly combined. If you cook the chickpeas al dente, or just until firm to the bite, the spread will be slightly crunchy; cook them until soft for a smoother spread.

Spread it on fresh bread. It also tastes good while still slightly warm from blending.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cook the chickpeas and drain. Cook them al dente or until completely soft, depending on your preference.
Tip: Chickpeas cooked al dente will give the spread a slightly crunchy texture.
Let the butter soften at room temperature.
Place all the ingredients in a small blender and blend until evenly combined. Spread on fresh bread, ideally while still slightly warm from blending.

Tip: If you don't have time to cook chickpeas, use canned chickpeas instead—just rinse and drain them. They will make the spread smooth rather than crunchy.
