Nut Tina's Sandwich Spread

Nut Tina's Sandwich Spread

• 1 1/4 cups garbanzo beans, cooked, reserve liquid 
• 2/3 cup olives, chopped
• 1/3 cup garbanzo liquid
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. tomato paste
• 3/4 tsp. Brewer's yeast
• 1/16th tsp. onion powder (or more)
• 1/16th tsp. lemon juice (or more)

Mash the garbanzos completely. Add the remaining ingredients and mash well.  Serve on whole grain bread. 

This spread is similar to a Nuteena spread, a commercial, vegetarian sandwich spread. It is similar to a pate'. After following the recipe above, it's delicious mashed with added chopped dill pickles, green onions, or chopped celery. 

A delightful tea sandwich spread.
