Some folks cannot fathom what could make a sandwich good without meat. As I said in my post for the hummus recipe, the secret is good bread and a delicious spread. Then pile on the veggies to your heart's delight. Here are some ideas for various vegetarian and vegan sandwiches (The ones marked with an asterisk are easily vegan if you check the bread.):
*1. hummus with cucumber slices and roasted red pepper on baguette
*2. olive spread (like you'd find on a muffaletta) with tomato, red onion, green romain lettuce, and sliced banana peppers on a hoagie bun
3. goat cheese smeared on a toasted bagel with white onion, roasted red pepper, and and arugula
4. pimento cheese (make this homemade by mixing grated cheddar cheese, mayo, and chopped pimento) and ruffley greenleaf lettuce on white bread
*5. peanut butter mixed with smashed bananas on wholegrain wheat bread
6. baguette split lengthwise, toasted, then spread with pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella, then run under the broiler
And here are some ideas that don't follow the bread-spread-veggie recipe:
*7. falafel tucked into a pita pocket with green lettuce, cucumber slices, and tomato chunks, then drizzled with tahini-lemon sauce (I'll get you the recipe for this sauce later.)
*8. veggie burger (Morningstar Farms makes a very nice garden burger if you don't have a recipe to make your own or don't have time.) on a sesame seeded bun with burger toppings
9. grilled cheese on rye (with onion, tomato, and/or even jalepeno tucked into the sandwich before grilling?)...And American cheese isn't the only cheese you can use, you know. You can even combine cheeses for a gourmet grilled cheese experience.
SO. Now you know that vegetarians have puh-lenty of options for sandwich makings. Here's to all the picnics you'll be making and the great brown bag lunches you'll be taking to the office now!
