I was craving a crunchy salad the other day that was filling with something like chickpea or lentil balls, but wanted it to be simpler. So I made this crumble. The crumble has a ton of flavor that goes well with the crunchy veggies. No need to shape and bake or pan fry. Just use the crumble as is! with crunchy lettuce, cucumber, carrots, peanuts and whatever else, and a garlicky soy dressing to finish it off.
Cooked chickpeas, ginger, carrots and peanuts are pulsed to form a coarse mixture. Add red curry paste or other flavors if you like. Chop up the salad and make the dressing. Assemble and serve! You can also use the chickpea mixture in wraps and tacos. You can toast the mixture in a pan with some sesame oil or bake in the oven to crisp slightly and use as well.
