Ingredients:
- 4 slices of fresh rye bread
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium turnip, thinly sliced
- ½ cup white wine vinegar
- ½ cup water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 1 star anise
- Fresh dill for garnish
Step-by-Step Preparation:
- Pickle the Turnip:
- In a saucepan, combine white wine vinegar, water, sugar, coriander seeds, and star anise. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Place the thinly sliced turnip into the cooled pickling liquid. Ensure the turnip is fully submerged. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes; for a more intense flavor, refrigerate overnight.
- Prepare the Miso Hummus:
- In a food processor, blend the cooked chickpeas, tahini, miso paste, lemon juice, and garlic until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Toast the rye bread slices until they are crisp and golden.
- Generously spread the miso hummus over each slice.
- Top with the pickled turnip slices, allowing any excess pickling liquid to drain off.
- Garnish with fresh dill sprigs for an added burst of freshness.
