I had a picked up Isa Does It from the library on Friday and was flicking through the pages when the solution jumped out at me: Chicky 'Tuna' Salad Sandwich. Being vegetarian I'm not generally a fan of recipes that are trying to imitate meat but the look of this one had me checking through the fridge and pantry for the necessary ingredients.
The only real change I made to the recipe was to use egg mayo rather than the vegan kind. The suggestion in the book was to have it with lettuce and tomato but the avocados are looking too good at the moment. Next time (yes, there will be a next time) I will be organised and rehydrate dried chick peas to give the spread a crunchier texture.
Mr Mouse also had the winning idea that we try it on toast rather then a plain slice of bread. Delicious. (I'm really glad that he likes it as the recipe makes quite a bit and it will certainly make its way on to the lunch menu this week.)
What's your favourite sandwich filling?
Take care
PS Don't forget the giveaway that ends next weekend.
I have fallen in love with Moosewood's BLTease sandwich. Tofu kan, red peppers, onion, celery with smoked cheese and mayo. YUM!
ReplyDeleteMary, that sounds delicious. Those ingredients sound amazing. I always love it when someone else makes a sandwich for me.
DeleteCan you come and make lunch for me? I am seriously lacking in inspiration when it comes to the midday meal. This looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteI would love to bring you a picnic lunch. I know what you mean about lacking inspiration. Cheese sandwiches were getting a bit tired. This recipe made quite a bit so I don't need to think about lunches much this week, just add an avocado. Yum.
DeleteThat sandwich filling sounds delicious. I'm going to give it a go. ps. Thank you for your kind comments on my raising chickens post. I haven't entered your giveaway because my keep cup is still going strong - but I shared the giveaway via twitter and facebook - I hope it sends some entries to your giveaway :-)
ReplyDeleteIt really was a bit of a hit this week with lunches. Thankfully the avocados are fabulous at the moment.
DeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your new chickens grow.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
