SANDWICH

Casually informal culinary creations by diverse cultures.

Greek pockets and Italian grinders. Danish open-faced, Russian black bread, French baguette.

Fresh whole grains German rye and Jewish pumpernickel.

Tacos, burritos bagels, biscuits and rice cake.

Smeared with jams, drizzled with dressings, spread with pates.

Layered with vegetables, stuffed with salads or ladled with sauces.

Brief statements with lingering afterthoughts.

The most versatile of all meals.

To perfect the sandwich, utilize the freshest ingredients available, in amounts and combinations which create a pleasing contrast of texture, flavor and color.

Sandwiches are one of my favorite meals, not only because they are generally quick and easy to make, but because they simply taste great! To me, sandwich making is an art. A properly prepared sandwich, using fresh high quality ingredients and a finely tuned sense of what combines well to create a pleasing contrast of texture, flavor and color can be every bit as exquisite as the finest main dish preparation or the most elegant soup.

As you move through this collection you will notice the wide selection of culinary choices. Maybe you don’t eat veggie meats, maybe you do. In either case you will find sandwiches in this collection for all people to enthusiastically enjoy.

Sandwiches differ in characteristics as vastly as recipes in any other culinary classification differ. The animal-free sandwich is not limited to lettuce, tomato and sprouts on whole wheat bread with mustard–as you will happily see as you read these recipes. I’ve created many new and exciting taste, texture and visual experiences.

Try all of the sandwiches to give yourself good exposure and experience, thereby expanding your expertise as a sandwich maker.

With continued experience you will develop your own style of creating new sandwiches as you become a culinary artist in your own animal-free kitchen! ♥

BURGERS AND HOT DOGS

AFC BLOOD RED ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGER© Hamburg is soft-textured. It’s not hard – even when cooked. These burgers replicate that texture.

SANDWICH – salads and spreads

IMPERIAL CHICKEN SALAD Not your run of the mill chicken salad! I know I said I wasn’t going to cook on Christmas day, after cooking holiday dishes for two weeks, but Steve bought Lilly Belle five pounds of vegan popcorn nuggets for Christmas and I just had to make a chicken salad out of a portion of it. Technically I didn’t cook – I assembled. Like I said, not your ordinary chicken salad. Imperial! Makes 8 cups

PEPPERONI KALAMATA OLIVE SPREAD I always liked sandwich spreads: ham salad, chicken salad, even the SPAM Salad sandwich my mother used to make.

This is for you MUM!! Makes 5-1/2 cups

PLANT MEAT PATE You can say it tastes like any animal you like. It’s still plant meat, and that’s the way hundreds of millions of people all over the globe prefer their meat – from a plant! Enjoy the brilliance of plants that provide what they were intended to provide – nourishment and pleasure! Makes 2-1/4 cups

Makes 5-3/4 cups

ENGLISH CASHEW BUTTER VEG MUFFIN I usually saute onions and peppers for sandwiches, but then thought why not celery and onion? Celery is good fried, so here we have it and it is delicious. Such a simple variation that doesn’t break the bank and it’s readily available, just waiting for you to make the switch to something new but very familiar.

Garnish with fresh celery stalk with leafy top and whole peanuts in the shell! Makes 1 sandwich

GRILLED PEANUT BUTTER PICKLE AND ONION There’s not a big melt on this, because we use natural peanut butter – fresh pressed. But the heat softens it nicely, not requiring the ooze factor. Dill pickle, sweet onion and country dijon mustard bring this natural peanut butter to a rustic but lovely conclusion! Makes 1 sandwich

SAVE THE HEELS OF THE BREAD FOR A TERRIFIC GRILLED VEG CHEESE SANDWICH Years ago, my mother always ate the heels of every loaf of bread, not wanting to waste food. She didn’t require that we kids eat them, only pointed out that they were still bread and good too. None of us wanted them, thinking they were discards. It’s not that she didn’t eat the center slices, only that she wasn’t about to throw away perfectly good food. I changed my mind on that.

SHARON’S “GRILLED CHEESE” SANDWICH What to do with the oil from your marinated sun-dried tomatoes, when the tomatoes are gone: Use it to fry other stuff.

HOW TO MAKE FRIED TOFU PLANKS for sandwiches I don’t deep fry anything. I don’t like the dangers it presents in a small living space, but also the high fat content. I reserve my deep fry cravings (if you can call them that) for eating out. This is, however, one of the ways I pan-fry tofu at home. Give it a try! The coating is gluten-free! Makes 1 package of tofu planks – 10 for this recipe.
