When I saw the title of this recipe I thought - that sounds odd. Then I thought - well why not? Most interesting and really something I've never come across. Do you think it would make a good sandwich filling?

Do you think it would make a good sandwich filling?

No, I dont think so as it's chewy.

We first tried chicken pickle at lunch with my husband''s colleague who made food particular from the region of India from where he and his wife were brought up.

Garlic pickle (whole cloves) makes a nice sandwich filling though. I'll make that again soon and post.

I made this with chickpeas today instead of chicken and it worked really well.
