Tofu Sandwich on Whole Wheat

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 17:06:10 -0400

My husband and I found an organic restaurant here in town, and when I had my first tofu sandwich, I fell in love with it. I had to go home and figure out my own recipe immediately! This uses firm-extra firm tofu and tastes great on a toasted whole wheat bun. -- posted by FoodExplorer

Perfectly Pink Pita!

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:09:22 -0400

This yummy pitawich (!!) is great for breakfast, or if you're craving sweets, it can be a bit like lunch and dessert combined! -- posted by White Rose Child

Red River Pumpernickel Bread

Mon, 26 Mar 2007 21:30:26 -0400

In Germany this bread would be called black bread (schwartzbrot). The recipe comes from KLM Airlines. I clipped it out of the paper many years ago. It's really easy to make and very healthy. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Tofu Medallions

Mon, 09 Apr 2007 21:19:18 -0400

These medallions are easy to make and are great veggie or vegan substitutes in traditional Parmesan or Marsala recipes. They also make a great sandwich patty, smothered in BBQ, sweet and sour or Buffalo sauce. I love them because they're so versatile! Play with the seasonings, if you like....try cajun seasoning or lemon pepper to go with your own recipes! -- posted by merron-iru kami

Tofu Gyros

Sat, 14 Apr 2007 15:04:47 -0400

Greek gyros, traditionally made from lamb, receive a makeover in tofu! These are a favorite in our house. So easy and a great combination of flavors. Though I love the cucumber sauce, plain yogurt would do. (Actually pronounced "year-oh" :-) ) Also good leftover for a lunch box, just wrap the assembled sandwich in wax paper. -- posted by White Rose Child

Pita Pocket Bread (Bread Machine)

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 21:12:54 -0400

So easy to make your own pita pockets, and even EASIER to do it in the bread machine! Kids love these for car trips or picnics; can't help but feel adventurous with one of these in the lunch box! NOTE: If you don't have a bread machine, you can STILL make this recipe...see DIRECTIONS at the bottom. COOKING TIME includes rising time -- posted by Debber

Vegan Bean Burger

Wed, 25 Apr 2007 14:29:58 -0400

Basically this is what happens when you just use what ya got! I had leftover black eyed peas in the fridge, I was hungry, I didn't want beans...so voila! & It took less than 10 minutes! -- posted by DyersTrophyWifey

Vegan/Vegetarian "mock Tuna"

Wed, 09 May 2007 23:51:08 -0400

This is a sandwich filling. There was a small company, I believe called "Sunflower Foods" in Connecticut(Newtown or Monroe) that made something similar. We moved to New Hampshire and they closed-so creativity is called for. I love this with sweet pickles, lettuce or spinach, and tomatoes on toasted wheat bread. YUM! -- posted by happy_vegan

Chickpea Salad Pockets

Fri, 11 May 2007 12:56:13 -0400

I clipped this recipe from a magazine a few years ago and finally tried it. My very picky DD liked this dish :). It would be good for brown bag lunches. Just pack the salad mixture into a separate sealed container and fill your pitas when you're ready to eat. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

BBQ Luscious Seitan Sandwich

Sun, 13 May 2007 20:39:59 -0400

From Didi Emmons who states in her cookbook this was the first seitan she tried. -- posted by That is Dr House to you

Tofu Salad in Pitas

Fri, 18 May 2007 23:58:15 -0400

This is going to be a very Middle Eastern/Indian taste. I made it omitting the nutritional yeast because I didn't realize I was out. It doesn't have to be in a Pita. I stuffed lettuce wraps with it for a fresh clean taste and I also tried it in Lavash bread. It worked well in both. -- posted by That is Dr House to you

Garlic Hummus

Mon, 28 May 2007 21:40:34 -0400

The garlic in this delicious hummus gives it a great spicy kick! We love it so much we make it at least once a week :) -- posted by Midwest Maven

Crunchy Vegan Sandwich

Tue, 12 Jun 2007 00:07:14 -0400

The carrots add a nice nutty crunch to this unusual sandwich. I made this up when I had a left-over baked sweet potato in the fridge and a rumbly tummy. -- posted by fryeroleo

Hummus

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 17:39:55 -0400

The base of this recipe seems pretty universal, and I started with ingredients common to several online recipes, and modify it from time to time, keeping what I like and leaving the rest. I whip up a batch of this on Sunday, then use in in pitas throughout the week. It makes about 3-4 large pitas, or a good bowlful for dip at a get together. -- posted by Special Ed

Baba Ghanoush

Fri, 15 Jun 2007 21:57:45 -0400

I started eating this stuff after a great pita sandwich at the Pita Pit. I make mine with more garlic (cuz I don't have to suit everyone's taste, like a restaurant!). NOTE: the garbanzo's may offend a baba purist, but make for a stiffer spread and a different taste - try both ways and enjoy! -- posted by Special Ed

Tu-No!-Fish Salad

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 14:27:43 -0400

Mashed chickpeas make a tasty vegan sandwich salad that reminds me of tuna salad. It's especially good in a whole-wheat pita with tomato slices and some lettuce. All the ingredient amounts can be modified to suit your tastes or what you happed to have around. -- posted by chiclet

Yummy Hummus

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 15:00:31 -0400

One of our favorite recipes. A friend gave me a hummus recipe a few years ago, but my husband has altered it so many times that this is the recent final product. Tastes so good with great flavor! Our favorite way to eat this hummus is on bread with sliced avocados and tomatoes on top. Also tastes great in a pita sandwich with avocados, tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts, cucumber, etc. You can use it as a salad dressing by doubling the water. Im not crazy about it as a salad dressing, but others I know have enjoyed it. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Amazing Vegeburgers

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 16:11:12 -0400

For variety, add shredded veggies, crumbled tofu, mashed potatoes, leftover carrot pulp, etc. An additional 1/4 cup ground flax may be used for additional binding. -- posted by Harry's Girl

Seitan Shawarma (Vegan)

Thu, 05 Jul 2007 11:23:56 -0400

Veganized, but with authentic flavor! Serve in arabic pita bread (or tortilla) with e.g. salad, tomatoes, onion, sambal oelek and vegan tzatziki. The seitan strips are also great for pizzas and salads... -- posted by Veganized

Sloppy Joes (Vegan)

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 21:14:25 -0400

Really tasty and easy to cook... This is my own version of Sloppy Joes. I'm not a big fan of textured soy protein, but this way I really enjoy it! The Marmite adds a "meaty" flavor. (if you can't find it in stores, it can be ordered from www.veganessentials.com) -- posted by Veganized

Smoked Tofu Summer Salad (Spread)

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 21:36:23 -0400

This is a veganized version of the Danish "Sommersalat" (summer salad) - traditionally made with "rygeost" (a sort of smoked soft cheese made with curdled milk) In Denmark it's served on rye bread for lunch. *Note* - this recipe doesn't really taste like the original, but it's great anyway - and a lot healthier! -- posted by Veganized

Tortilla Salad Rolls

Mon, 23 Jul 2007 21:39:50 -0400

Flour Tortillas make these no-cook, make ahead appetizers so easy to prepare. Try using other vegetable combinations: bean sprouts, chopped red or green peppers, or shredded bok choy. For convenience try pre-shredded coleslaw to use in place of cabbage and carrots. These rolls make a great vegetarian lunch. -- posted by chick256

Vegan Tofurkey Wrap

Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:49:02 -0400

I came up with this cause I wanted something light, tasty and lower in carbs. It's super good! I got the recipe for the red pepper spread from "Michelle S." (http://www.recipezaar.com/55294).. fyi, I made this with Tofurkey slices, but the recipe editor won't accept it, so I used "soy ham" instead. You get the idea. -- posted by tendollarwine

Vegan Spinach Wrap

Wed, 01 Aug 2007 19:14:39 -0400

This is an awesome, light, low-carbish meal that's great for lunch, dinner, a quick meal on-the-go, picnics, bag lunches, or road trips. Just roll them tightly in plastic wrap and you're ready to go! -- posted by tendollarwine

Vegan Marinated Tofu Wraps W/Chipotle Mayo

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:28:31 -0400

I've been experimenting with wraps lately and this idea seemed really good. And it was! A tip for the mayo: make it the day before and don't add any extra chiles or adobo sauce until the next day after you've tasted it. It gets MUCH hotter after it sits for a day or two. -- posted by tendollarwine

Jason's Healthy yet Tasty Sloppy Joes (Vegan)

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 23:07:52 -0400

Jason didn't like many vegeburgers or garden burgers when we were first trying to go vegetarian. He made up this "meaty burger" to fit his tastes and now its a family favorite. Has a little bit of a different flavor from most traditional sloppy joes, but we think the taste is outstanding! Use less cayenne pepper or omit it if you're afraid it will be too spicy. It's just enough spice that my kids aren't bothered by it, but I have a few friends that the spice might be too much for them. If you want to make sure the recipe is completely vegan, check the veggie burger cans because many use egg. The vegan veggieburger we use is only found here in the Philippines and I can't remember the brand name of the one we used in the states before. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Vegan Grilled "cheeze" Sammiches!

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 21:34:15 -0400

Two Toned Sandwiches (Lunch Box Surprise)

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 22:58:23 -0400

For our 5 year olds lunch box for either snack time or lunch for his first year at kindergarten that are reasonably healthy but will bring a smile to his face when he finds them. Kids tire of the same old sandwich, so I came up with this as a new and fun way to make sure he doesn't skip his sandwich! -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Grilled Portabella Burger With Basil Mayonnaise

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 21:37:04 -0400

This recipe was featured in our August/September 2007 newsletter. It was submitted by Susan Jaffe, R.D., C.D., VNA Vice President. She adapted the recipe from one in the book, Some Like It Hot by Robin Roberts. She says, "I have made this recipe many times for my family. I usually saute the red onion in a pan before serving. You can serve this recipe with grilled tempeh brushed with teriyaki sauce. It is delicious and great for a hot summer night!" -- posted by Vegetarian Network Of Austin Vegan Cookbook

Panini for the P.b&b Lover

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 01:04:36 -0500

No title can do justice to the wonder of this delicious sandwich. I always think of it as panini, though I'm sure that's not technically correct! Anyway, it's grilled with peanut butter and banana and if you're in doubt, try it, you'll never want cold Pb&b again. -- posted by White Rose Child

According to a Providence Journal article, Amara's was a natural food and vegetarian restaurant on Wickenden Street, back in the days before Providence was a major culinary city, and before natural foods became popular. One reader wrote in to the Projo asking for this recipe and one other. I clipped the recipe months ago, and have been meaning to try it out. Serving size & cook time are guesses based on my past veggie burger-making experience. -- posted by Kris B.

Mon, 05 May 2008 22:11:19 -0400

Had this at a baby shower. It is simple and delicious! Serve with olives and feta. NOTE: Tabouli is a bulgur/parsley salad. There are about 30 recipes on this site if you would like to make your own. You can find prepared tabouli next to the hummus in the deli. You can also make your own hummus. In order to keep this quick and simple, this recipe uses prepared refrigerated mixes from the grocery store deli. -- posted by KelBel

Bulgur Veggie Burger

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:27:14 -0400

This recipe is a modified version from this month's Gourmet Magazine (June 2008). The burgers can be prepared on the grill or in a skillet. If you don't want to use a food processor, you can simply chop the onions finely and mash the beans and walnuts together before mixing in everything else by hand. Uncooked patties can be chilled, covered, up to 4 hours. -- posted by blucoat

Random experiment while I was on vacation that came out great. All my meat eating friends wanted to try my "weird tofu sandwich" and since we got back 3 out of 5 have asked me to make it for them again. This is also how I introduced my Dad to tofu. He still makes fun of me, but not as bad. When I make this for others I like to serve it with a side of blue cheese dressing and either a pickle or celery which adds a nice touch. -- posted by Nikoma

From the book "8 Weeks to Optimal Health". I have not made it yet. Posting for safekeeping. Dr Weil says: "Tempeh is a fermented-soybean product, a staple food of Indonesia, with a meaty texture and a bland flavor. You will find packages of it refrigerated or frozen in health-food stores." ETA: Well I tried it. I would say it is for die-hard tempeh fans. I had never tried it before and I will try it another way but probably not this way again. -- posted by Chef Tweaker

Vegan Pecan Meatball Hoagie

A vegan "meatball" hoagie. From the cookbook "Choices - Quick & Healthy Cooking." You can make a large batch of these meatballs and freeze them loose in freezer bags until needed. Drop frozen into the tomato sauce and bake up to 30 minutes or warm in the microwave on high for approximately 10 minutes. For a brown-bag version, take the meatballs and sauce in a separate container and place in a hoagie roll at lunchtime to enjoy. -- posted by Enjolinfam

Joan Nathan's Favorite Falafel

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:50:47 -0500

From Joan Nathan's cookbook, " The Foods of Israel Today". She created this recipe after sampling many different falafels and interviewing the people who made them. You can make an Egyptian version by omitting the cilantro and substituting fava beans for the chickpeas. To make this truly "Israeli-style", garnish with tahina sauce (made from ground sesame seeds), harissa hot sauce, pickled turnip, or sauerkraut. In fact, all types of pickled fruits and vegetables (including regular dill pickles, eggplant, mango) work really well! If you can't find tahina sauce, you can serve with hummus or a yogurt sauce. Chickpeas need to soak overnight, and chickpeas mixture must be refrigerated for a few hours. -- posted by blucoat

Easy & Delicious Vegan Pitas

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:07:04 -0500

This is a delicious and easy to make recipe for completely vegan pitas. Even those who are non-vegans, vegetarians, and vegans will enjoy this tasty and healthy recipe. This is a very basic recipe, and other vegetables (mushrooms, green peppers, tomato, onion) can be added for extra flavor, depending on what you like. You can also use whatever kind or flavor of salsa you prefer. -- posted by SnowBeetle

Falafel

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 16:56:14 -0500

Spiced Lentil Tacos (Vegetarian)

Tue, 03 Mar 2009 01:00:15 -0500

This is a great recipe for those who want a vegetarian meal without fake "meat". This delicious and simple recipe is from Chef Jennifer Iserloh of New York City (aka "Skinny Chef") and was printed in this month's Self Magazine (February 2009). Following the recipe results in an al dente lentil with a little chew to mimic the texture of ground beef. If you want a softer lentil, you can cook them about 15 minutes longer (in step 1) with added broth until soft. -- posted by blucoat

BBQ Seitan and Coleslaw Sandwich

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:12:40 -0400

From Veganomicon. Time does not include making the seitan or BBQ sauce. I used Simple Seitan (Recipe #340765) & Backyard Barbeque sauce (Recipe #340508). I tend to make a lot of seitan & sauce about twice a year, then freeze it so I can make this (& other seitan dishes) quickly during the week. Since I'm not vegan, I usually use pre-made coleslaw with dairy on this. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 01:21:36 -0400

After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis. In an effort to substitute, I came up with this faux chicken salad-esque spread that is delicious on whole grain bread or in a pita pocket! It is an easy go-to because I usually have everything in my pantry. Substitute any ingredients that you might use in your chicken or tuna salad! -- posted by Miss_Elaine

Grilled Chili Lime Tempeh Sandwiches

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:32:50 -0400

This is a great summertime vegetarian sandwich from VeggieLife magazine. I add extra fresh lime juice and chili pepper sauce in place of the red pepper flakes. Check the Asian foods section of your supermarket for Thai peanut sauce. Cooking time does not include marinating time! Start marinating the tempeh the day before you plan to serve this. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Vegetarian Portobello French Dip Sandwich

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:38:15 -0400

This incredible sandwich is the signature dish at the much-loved Seattle restaurant, Café Flora. The recipe is printed in the "Café Flora Cookbook". It's really a delicious sandwich and will please vegetarians and carnivores alike. It's easy to make vegan too. Start by preparing the mushroom essence (which can be made ahead of time). Unused French Dip Spread can be frozen. The mushroom essence (basically a reduced mushroom stock) can be made to add intense mushroom flavour to risottos, pastas, soups... -- posted by blucoat

Vegetarian Pâté

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 01:38:11 -0500

Incredibly flavourful, yet so easy to make. Some uses include sandwich spread, filling for savoury pies, on crackers, etc. I've tried it with sunflower seeds but have yet to experiment with the sesame seeds. Original recipe by Danièle Starenkyj. -- posted by Génial Génie

Lentil Burgers

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:40:56 -0500

From Gabrielle Berra, in Eating Clean. "Making lentil burgers is a great alternative to meat, whether you're a vegetarian or not. Lentils are a great source of fiber and make up a complete protein when paired with a whole grain (such as brown rice). What better way to enjoy them as a burger?" -- posted by Wardy

Spicy Seitan

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:20:18 -0500

This is the seitan recipe I came up with after looking at two fairly popular recipes (http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/06/veggie-lunch-meat.html and http://www.postpunkkitchen.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15959&p=1). This recipe makes a nice sized (7 to 8 inches I suppose) sausage like loaf and can probably be easily changed to your taste based on what spices you use. Note: if you want it to be more like the former recipe (like lunch meat) cook it longer (30-45 mins steaming, 45 mins baking), if you're looking for a nice ground beef substitute 30-35 mins steaming, then another 30-35 mins baking is better. I've used the longer cooked seitan in stuffing and the lesser cooked in dirty rice. Both were thoroughly enjoyed by all involved! I hope you enjoy it too! -- posted by Raven D

Vegan Dlt (Dulse, Lettuce, and Tomato) Sandwiches

Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:02:08 -0500

Dulse is a delicious and very nutritious sea vegetable. Its salty flavor and crispy texture make it an excellent substitute for bacon in this sandwich with much less sodium and fat than the "real" thing. -- posted by Prose
