Vegan Sandwich Fillers?!
Vegan Sandwich Fillers?
Does anyone have any good vegan sandwich fillers? I only seem to have them when I have vegan cheese or fake ham but I don't buy them too often. I'd like something quick and easy... maybe a silken tofu mixture recipe that I could use instead of egg mayonnaise or sandwich spread. Any ideas? thanks
Answers: Hummus. You can buy this but it is incredibly easy to make. Get a jar of cooked chickpeas, a couple of spoonfuls of tahini, juice of a lemon, a clove of garlic, a drizzle of olive oil and blend.
You can bake some aubergines and peppers which will store for a week to add to your hummus sandwiches for an awesome protein-rich sarnie.
You drizzle lots of olive oil over some chopped aubergines and peppers, some chopped lemon rind, some chilli and salt. You leave them to absorb for a bit and then bake them in the oven. Once they are cool, you can stick them in a sandwich.
You can also get some great vegan patés from health food shops.
Also, one of my fave pitta recipes is tahini with lots of raw veg like grated carrots, lettuce and bean sprouts, dressed in some cider vinegar and olive oil.
I'm not sure how to make tofu "egg-mayonnaise" but I have had it before and it was lovely so try looking on some vegan recipe sites.
Have you tried tofu slices? You can also get different tofus like "graffitti" which has seaweed and is very tasty raw and in a sandwich.
I'm getting hungry now thinking about it all......
Happy eating! I LOVE hummus and pickles and tofu
Here's what I do to the tofu
Slice it into thin wide slabs.. rub each side with soy sauce and a vegan "chicken seasoning"
Lightly simmer/fry it in a tad of oil, turning over to brown each side..
I have made tofu "egless egg salad" but I don't have the recipie for vegan mayo on hand" But you could find a recipie for vegan mayo that you make with silken tofu.. then crumble/mash extra firm tofu up and mix it with some "mayo," add dill, chopped celery, onion, pepper, pickle relish.. mustard.. YUMM!!! Better if it has time to sit in the refrigerator, though.. all the flavors mix together better.. Spread bread with hounous, grate raw carrot on top and add a few salad leaves.

I like Hummus for a sandwich filler (Tribe) they come in different flavors or it too is easy to make.

I never buy the faux meat or cheese they have too many things I can't eat. My diet is very natural.
Slainté Coleslaw made with eggless mayonnaise.
Grated tofu with roasted peppers and black olives
Hommous and grated carrot with some toasted poppy seeds and drizzled with lemon juice. Hummus is good in place of vegenaise (or other vegan mayo sub).
Now for the fillers, try putting just a couple slices of tomato, some alfalfa sprouts (for crunch!), avocado, and/or cucumber. It's totally delicious, refreshing, and very healthy, too.
I don't have any ideas about the silken tofu other than to try and make it into a mock egg salad. Sorry!
Hope I helped :) pesto and grilled vegetables or just avacado, tomato and sprouts on whole wheat. with tofu you can do a good sauce mixing it with olives
or maybe you can try a vegan sandwich with mushroom, tomato slices and salad, it's great! I like to smoosh some soyrizo into vegan refried beans to make them into spicy refried beans. Smear this onto a slice of toast and enjoy. You can even top with a slice of vegan cheddar and pop it into the toaster oven until it melts. Mmm! Oh yeah, you can do the same thing, but instead of beans, use marinara. Instead of vegan cheddar, use vegan mozzarella. Pop into the toaster oven
As for the beans, try using tortillas instead of bread, and you can make a warm bean & vegan cheese burrito. Yum! - Peanut butter

Hummus, gratted carrot, watercress, spinach and rocket leaf yummy!!
to jazz it up with alittle more flavour add some tabasco sauce to the hummus or make salsa type stuff and spread that on the bread and add anything you like...
or try this hot sandwich
lettiuce, cucumber, sliced jalopino chilli peppers, sliced black olives. Why put lipstick on a pig, dear? You have fake everything on it. What difference does it make what the filler is? Just throw on a slab of tofu if you want a thicker sandwich.
