Fresh Peach Chutney

This recipe was posted in the Toledo Blade on September 16, 2008 in an article on peanut butter and jelly! The article, written by Deborah Geering, looks like it came from Cox News Services over the wire. They suggest using Curried Peanut Spread as the sandwich mate. I'll post the mate after checking for a twin on this site. -- posted by dogsandwoods

The Best Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Sun, 10 May 2009 20:11:02 -0400

Recipe is from "Great Grilled Cheese: 50 Innovative Recipes for Stovetop, Grill and Sandwich Maker" by Laura Werlin. Although almost everyone seems to have their own version of the "best" grilled cheese sandwich, this one defines grilled cheese as it was meant to be. The crunchy texture of the bread and the perfectly melted cheese ensure that. To create the perfect sandwich, be sure to press it firmly after you've turned it. This compresses and crisps the bread and makes the cheese-bread ratio just right. -- posted by blucoat

Greek Salad Pitas With Hummus

Mon, 11 May 2009 17:42:52 -0400

Very light and yet filling at the same time. I just put these together the other day, so all of the ingredient amounts are approximate. You could add any number of things to the salad that you like (bell peppers, red onion, etc.). Also, my pitas were thin and large. If you use thicker and/or smaller pitas, obviously you won't fit as much in each portion. The hummus really adds character to these sandwiches (and also a little protein). Enjoy! -- posted by 2hot2handle

Open-Faced Bagel Sandwich

Syrian Cheese Sandwiches

Wed, 13 May 2009 22:16:40 -0400

This sandwich goes waaay over the top! From a local restaurant which sadly does not offer this sandwich on their menu anymore. The restaurant did not skimp on the cheese either. I think the restaurant's manager said they lost their local supplier. It's also been a long time since I tried this that I don't remember if the restaurant added herbs to the sandwich (if they did it was a light sprinkle of dried parsley or oregano). I, however, and thankfully I might add, found Syrian cheese recently at our local Middle Eastern store. I can't tell you the exact type of cheese it is other than describing it as hard/semi-hard, strongly flavored, white and salty. It could very well have been jibne baida which is what was used for this recipe. If anyone out there knows and is more familiar with Syrian cheese, could you please set me straight? Yes, three ingredients-ok, technically four! -- posted by Cookgirl

Chickpea Salad Sandwiches

After becoming a vegetarian, I missed certain sandwiches that I used to make on a regular basis.

British Beans on Toast

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:11:51 -0400

Great snack to much on while watching your favorite British programs. Drink with Strongbow cider ;-) . . . Tip: DO NOT USE AMERICAN Pork & Beans, Boston Baked Beans or "Bush's Beans" etc... ONLY Heinz or Batchelor's brand please, otherwise it might be gross. Don't worry - most American grocery stores sell HEINZ and BATCHELOR'S, in the International/European/English/Irish aisle. I've been all over the US and found them in Safeway, Kroger, Stop & Shop, etc... I've never not been able to find one of those 2 brands in the USA. -- posted by BBCFan

Veggie Sandwiches A.k.a. Veggimiches

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:43:31 -0400

I used to make these all the time in southern Cali for my BF. Now that I've relocated to the far North, certain fresh ingredients are harder to come by, so I haven't been able to make this sandwich in ages. I'm not sure where the "m" stems from in "veggiemich," that's just what we ended up calling it. :) The reason for mixing the mustard and dressing prior to spreading on the bread is to avoid uneven spreading while keeping the calorie count down. Everything can of course be omitted or replaced to your taste; you can even make it Atkins-friendly by making a lettuce pocket and omitting the bread, hehe! We loved using a lot of pepper for a nice kick. You can make it a more filling meal with other additions, too! ^_^ -- posted by FuzzyKiwi

Natural Food Power Sandwich With Enoki Mushrooms

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:11:52 -0400

Treat crunchy enokis as sprouts in this sandwich lunch. Enoki mushrooms look like no other mushroom. Long legged, uniformly smooth and cream colored, it resembles a bean sprout or perhaps a straightened spaghetti noodle with a tiny mushroom cap. Other common names are "golden needle," "winter mushroom," and "velvet foot." In Japan it is called enokidake. As a complement to almost any salad, enokis will add crispness and a subtle radishy flavor similar to nasturtium leaves and flowers. Eaten raw, they will leave a hint of pepper on your tongue. Toss some into soup during the last few minutes of simmering, or drop them into stir-fried vegetable or meat dishes just before serving. A variation of this recipe is to use a spicy humus instead of making the avocado mash, and adding 2 avocado halves to the sandwich if you are craving a bit more texture. -- posted by Ashlin

Perfect Summer Sandwich (Tomato, Basil, Cheese)

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:21:12 -0400

This sandwich screams summer to me. I made it after going to the farmer's market and getting lots of fresh ingredients, including wonderful herbed ciabatta bread. If you don't like garlic much, just rub a clove on there (sliced to get the flavor. This is also delicious cold, or with a drizzle or balsamic vinegar on the tomato. For a slightly different (equally tasty, if you ask me) option, use havarti slices instead of mozzarella. Enjoy! -- posted by newmama

For a more substantial meal, add greens-arugula, baby spinach, loose leaf lettuce; perhaps some finely minced shallots, heirloom toms, ad infinitum... -- posted by Cookgirl

Grilled Zucchini Sandwich

Sun, 09 Aug 2009 21:51:47 -0400

I put this together one night after work. I'm trying a new thing where I only eat meat one meal a day, and I'd already eaten chicken for lunch. When I got home from work my dad had made steak, so instead I used the grilled zucchini side dish and made a sandwich. The zucchini has the texture of a meat like sliced turkey or ham, so it feels like you're not stuck with a pile of veggies between bread. The hummus is a nice protien to keep your meal well rounded.

This is not a joke recipe, honestly I make it all the time - have done for over 10 years & find it really yummy. When you think about it, it's not all that different from the old classic PB & J..... I love to eat this in thickly sliced soft white bread, it's also tasty in fresh brioche too. You have to use a regular (smooth) Dijon though, it doesn't work with any other mustard. I have made this sandwich for friends & most have really enjoyed it & asked for it again later! -- posted by Um Safia

Glorious Grill Cheese and Pickles! How Good is That? Longmeadow

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 15:08:42 -0400

I love cucumbers, and the next step in keeping cucumbers year round is to pickle them. There is nothing more glorious in nature then opening a processed and canned dill pickle from the summer months. Just biting into one sets off a whole memory of the previous garden and all the treasures it yielded. The second part of the recipe really is based on the typical and very heart warming grilled cheese sandwich. Talk about memories! Remember when you were a youngster, and the rain was pouring sheets outside? You were chilled to the bone from trouping around in it and Mom met you at the front door, helped you out of your wet clothes and gathered the old cast iron skillet out of the cupboard. She then buttered two slices of homemade bread with real butter and put two wonderful slices of cheddar cheese between the bread and grilled away until the sides of the bread became crusty and brown? The inside oozed the cheese out, as it was ready to be devoured alongside potato chips and a pickle. Since I saw this recipe from "Rachel Ray" I have adapted this for the use of my summer pickles and pumpernickel or rye bread. But really you get your pickle, get your bread, some great cheese slices and there you go. Stay in from the rain of the day, and use your cast iron skillet for a trip down memory lane. -- posted by Andi of Longmeadow Farm

This wonderful appetizer, when served with warm pita, marinated strips of red pepper & tasty olives, can be a meal unto itself... or tucked into a pita with the aforementioned for lunch, a very nice lunch. Per the Times: "This Turkish recipe is from Paula Wolfert's upcoming book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen," which will be published in October by Wiley. Wolfert notes that the slower the grilling, the smokier the flavor of the eggplant. She thanks Dr. Ayse Baysal for sharing the recipe." Note: When large eggplants are roasted whole, you may notice black juices seeping out of the skin. If this happens, immediately slit the eggplant on one side and drain on a slanted board in the sink. -- posted by Buster's friend

Vegetarian Croque Monsieur (Gourmet Grilled Cheese W/ Tofu Ham)

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:18:23 -0400

For those who don't like meat but want a totally rich French sandwich. French food was made for primarily meat lovers but I vegi-fied this classic. This is the ultimate French comfort food. (Served with a side salad instead of fries so I don't feel as guilty, haha.) Definitely not vegan friendly because I don't think soy butter and soy cheese could do this right, but you're welcome to try it as such. A great sandwich to have on a rainy day curled up with a good book. IMPORTANT NOTE: Nutritional info is inaccurate because I had to use real ham as an ingredient input or else the recipe wouldn't submit, says that "tofu sandwich slices" (and many other variations I typed) are not recognized in the database. Overall fat and calories are really lower than shown, unless you're a meat lover using real ham. I use Smart Deli brand ham-flavored tofu sandwich slices, they're really thin which is why I use 6 pieces. It didn't recognize as an ingredient but it should because tofu slices are central to many vegetarian and vegan recipes. -- posted by the80srule

If my cilantro hadn't gone bad I would have added it to the mixture. I did add salt and pepper. Recipe courtesy of Best Recipes of the Great Food Companies. -- posted by AmyZoe

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

Kitchen Sink Lentil Burgers

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:59:33 -0500

I had a pot of lentils and only a vague idea to use them to make soup. Then I took a look at the recipes here for patties and burgers and decided to have a go at it. Per usual, I had this and that on hand and out came this creation. It's GREAT with ketchup and is the closest I've come to having something vegetarian homemade that tasted like my Mom's meatloaf. It makes a fabulous burger too! Substitute curry powder or chili powder for the italian seasoning for a different taste or leave out the italian seasoning altogether for a really plain burger. -- posted by Honeywine

Light and refreshing yet also very filling. Add any fresh vegetables you have available. I like to pack this up for my lunch at the office with a sugar free lemonade and some grape tomatoes. I found Joseph's flaxseed lavash wraps at Walmart in the bread aisle. They have zero WW points. -- posted by Trinkets

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

Elegant Tarragon and Tomato Butter Tea Sandwiches

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 09:56:30 -0500

These delightful and rather unusual tea sandwiches combine the delicate French herb tarragon, with ripe tomatoes, garlic and shallots a change from the usual basil and tomatoes. The tomatoes are gently poached with all the seasonings until a thick puree or butter is obtained; the tomato butter is then cooled and you are left with a wondrous sandwich filling, bursting with flavour and colour! The butter can be used for all manner of things, including a topping for a pizza or for toasted sandwiches. Use fresh bread, white or wholemeal, and garnish with fresh tarragon leaves. Any excess butter can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week in the fridge. NB: Prep time includes chilling time for the butter. -- posted by French Tart

Victorian Watercress Tea Sandwiches for High Tea and Picnics

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 10:20:30 -0500

During Victorian times, children used to take watercress sandwiches to school in place of meat ones. I love them, especially when cut into small trianges and served with a cuppa (cup of tea!). Use the freshest bread - I like to use wholemeal, and a fresh salted farmhouse butter. I have inlcluded a soup idea at the end of the recipe, to be made with the excess stalks! So a soup and sandwich recipe then! -- posted by French Tart

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
