"Cucumbers make a moist and juicy foil for Spicy Chickpea Puree" Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
To make the spread:
Toast cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds in a small skillet over low heat, shaking the pan frequently. As soon as they release their aroma, after a few minutes, turn them onto a plate to cool.
In a blender or food processor: Coarsely chop the garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, the cayenne, oil, and cilantro with 1/4 cup water. Add the spices and chickpeas and puree until smooth.
Toast the bread or leave it fresh. Combine the jalapeno, 1 tbs cilantro, and 1 tbs lime juice. Spread a moderate layer of chickpea spread on two slices of the bread, cover with the cucumber slices and spoon the sauce over all. Top with the remaining bread.
There will be plenty of leftover spread which makes 1 1/4 cup.
