Any good veggie focused sandwiches people have done? Looking for very little to no animal products. So far done well with combos of onion, cucumber, tomato, and hummus alongside cream cheese (tried both vegan and non vegan based cream cheese).
Sun dried tomatoes and olive pate (blitzed olives with garlic, herbs and olive oil into a nice spread) as well as Armenian eggplant spread have also been freaking awesome additions to my pantry for veggie sammies. Anyone used seitan or other more heartier vegan protiens in sandwiches? Looking for something that isn’t too crumbly or wet like tofu.
Really liking the suggestions from others in the thread so I’ll just add:
Having pesto with the sundried tomatos is pretty good as a starting point to layer on other flavours. I’m guessing you’d use nutritional yeast instead of parmesan for the saltiness in the pesto.
Also, if you don’t mind staining the occasional white t-shirt, tinned beetroot is a great last-second addition to sandwiches if you think it’s lacking character. I find it has a nice mellow sweetness that contrasts well against traditional savoury/sour pairings, without being too sweet like a chutney or relish.
Been doing marmite and nutritional yeast for soups will have to give them a try for sandwich making, also big fan of pickled beets so I’ll have to make another batch soon (I ussually just snack from the jar or add them to potato salads or regular salads)
If you like marmite and if it’s available where you live, Vegemite is vegan and definitely belongs in sandwiches. A common one here is Vegemite, avocado and feta on crusty bread or toast (you could try brining some soft tofu to get something approaching feta). Unfortunately it doesn’t travel/keep well so it can’t really be a packed sandwich, but it’s got umami, yeasty/sour notes and creamy all in one.
I’ll have to order some, sadly I don’t have any locally sourced by me so Amazon way I’ll have to go for it
