Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup TVP

(textured vegetable protein)

3/4 cup boiling water

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 medium green pepper -- diced

(about 1 cup)

1 medium onion -- minced

(about 1 cup)

1 stalk celery -- minced

(about 1/2 cup) -- minced

1 small carrot -- minced

(about 1/2 cup)

1 tablespoon molasses

1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

16 ounces canned tomato puree

1 tablespoon chili powder -- to taste, up to 2

1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce -- or to taste

Salt -- to taste

6 whole grain rolls -- bread or pita

 

As the name implies, this isn't a good sandwich to pack for a lunch, but we

thought we'd included it here because it's a favorite with kids and great

to make for parties. That is, if you're willing to risk the mess!

 

In a small bowl, combine TVP and water; set aside.

 

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.

Add green pepper, onion, celery and carrot; saut‚ until vegetables are

soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add TVP mixture and all

remaining ingredients except rolls. Mix well. Cook, stirring

occasionally, until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.

 

Serve on rolls, bread or pita. Makes 6 generous servings.

Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Sandwiches Soyfoods

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 hero roll -- up to, up to 7-inch

2 teaspoons soy mayonnaise

2 teaspoons prepared mustard

2 soy deli slices such as imitation bologna -- up to 3

This is a good sandwich idea for hungry teens. The array of choices in the

soy " deli " have helped expand vegetarian lunch options. This recipe makes

one sandwich; increase the quantities as needed if you are making more.

 

Split hero roll lengthwise. Spread one- half with soy mayonnaise and other

half with mustard. Line one-half with deli slices and other with cheese

(if not using cheese, line both halves with deli slices). Top one- half

with lettuce and other with tomato slices. Put halves together and wrap

tightly with plastic wrap. Wrap up a pickle to go along with the sandwich

if desired. Makes 1 sandwich.
