Any of these sandwiches fillings can be used between two slices of bread, stuffed inside a pita, or rolled in a tortilla, or lavosh. Using these to hold your sandwich filling makes your sandwich a Starch, although I've indicated when a filling is Neutral so that you can use it wrapped up in a lettuce leaf or to top cucumber slices for a Protein meal.

Turkey Pitas

Boil 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon butter, stirring until melted.

Heat 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

2 small zucchini, cut into strips

1/2 pound soy turkey, cubed

Add 1 tablespoon filtered water and sauté another 3-4 minutes.

Drizzle with lemon margarine. Cut 3 pieces whole wheat pita bread in half and stuff with turkey and vegetables.

Olive Cream Cheese Sandwich

This sandwich is a little like eating a gourmet pizza.

Heat a little extra-virgin olive oil in a pan. Saute whole grain bread topped with slices of nondairy mozzarella cheese. Cover pan and saute bread until lightly browned and cheese is soft. Remove from pan to plate lined with paper towel or a paper plate. Repeat process with second slice of bread.

While second slice of bread is browning top first slice with

thinly sliced bell pepper (preferably red, yellow, or orange)

sliced tomato

Top tomato with Olive Cream then with

thinly sliced zucchini

When second slice of bread is done place it on top of zucchini, cheese side down. Press sandwich with your hand or a spatula. Let it rest for a minute or two then cut into quarters. I prefer quarters to halves because the vegetables don't fall out as easily.

Olive Cream

Puree in blender or small food processor

1 can black olives, pitted and drained

1/2 red onion, chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese (you could add up to a cup)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 clove raw garlic, chopped or 2 cloves roasted garlic

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding sea salt if you so desire.

Green Pepper Sandwich Filling filling: Neutral

Saute in a little butter over medium high heat until tender

1/2 medium onion, chopped

1 green pepper, chopped

Reduce heat to low and add

3/4 cup firm tofu, squeezed through your fingers into the saucepan (so that it's roughly mashed)

1 egg yolk

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Stir occasionally until tofu is lightly browned. Spoon tofu mixture onto rolls.

4 whole grain sandwich rolls cut almost in half, or whole wheat pita

Egg(less) Salad filling: Neutral

Drain & roughly mash

1 pound firm tofu  Mix in

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 tablespoon mustard

1 tablespoon chopped pickles

3 tablespoon chopped celery

3 tablespoon chopped onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (1 t. dried)

a dash of paprika

salt to taste

The above recipe is delicious, but sometimes I find that I've made too much and I don't want to eat the same sandwich for the next few days so I 'll add one or more of the following ingredients to the leftovers for variety:

• dash of hot pepper sauce
• black pepper to taste
• chopped bell pepper
• mashed capers
• chopped or sliced black or green olives

Variation- layer any of the following on top of the filling

thinly sliced tomatoes

thinly sliced cucumbers

soy bacon or pepperoni

roasted red peppers

lettuce

Chili Turkey filling: Neutral

Mix

4 ounces soy cream cheese

3-4 tablespoons fresh salsa or juice from fresh salsa

Spread onto

4 whole wheat tortillas or 4 slices whole grain bread

Add

slivered lettuce

1-2 slices soy deli sliced turkey

chopped green onions

fresh or dried cilantro

(sliced or chopped olives)

(sliced avocado or can substitute for soy turkey)

Sandwich: top with second slice of whole grain bread.

Tortilla Wrap: fold the tortillas around the filling, slice in half, if desired.

Burrito: fold the tortillas around the filling and place seam side down on oiled baking sheet or pan. Top with grated Jack or Cheddar cheese (optional). Bake at 400 degrees until the edges of the tortilla are crisp and cheese is melted and browned.

Tortilla Rollups

Spread whole wheat or corn tortillas with any of the following fillings. Roll up tight and eat as is, or cut in half and stand on end on a plate, surrounded by a fresh salad of your choice.

• Roughly mash an avocado with salt and pepper to taste, and a little fresh lemon or lime juice.
• Roughly mash an avocado and stir it into some fresh salsa.
• Spread some fat-free refried beans on the tortilla and top with the either of the avocado mixes.
• Drain and rinse a can of white beans. Mash the beans in the can  with a little salt, black pepper, garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Spread on the tortilla. Add sliced or diced cucumber, tomato, and sprouts (optional). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with a little oil and vinegar dressing.
• Mashed white beans or refried beans, topped with leftover salad and drizzled with dressing.
• Spread tortilla with soy mayo. Add slices of fresh avocado, tomato, or cucumber.This is especially good on a heated corn tortilla.

Pizza Salad Sandwich filling: Neutral

Place

several slices of soy pepperoni inside a

whole wheat pita, or on a whole wheat tortilla

Microwave or heat in oven just until warm (20-30 seconds per sandwich in microwave, 1-2 minutes in the oven). Toss

torn or shredded lettuce with:

soy mayo thinned with a little fresh lemon or lime juice, or nondairy milk

sea salt & pepper to taste

(oregano, basil, fresh or dried garlic)

Place on top of pepperoni

1-2 slices soy mozzarella

Pile on the dressed lettuce and serve or add any or all of your favorite pizza toppings such as

sliced fresh or roasted red peppers

mushrooms

olives

tomato slices

Hot Pizza Sandwich

Some advantages of using a pita instead of sliced bread are that you end up eating less Starch and more filling, and it's less messy.

Heat a little olive oil and butter over medium-low heat until hot. Add

2 slices whole wheat bread or 1 whole wheat pita cut in half across the diameter

1/4 cup thinly sliced onions

Sprinkle onions with

dried basil or oregano

sea salt

black pepper

Top bread slices with

2 slices soy mozzarella. Place cheese inside the pitas.

Cook until bread is browned. The cheese won't be melted, which is fine, but if you want it melted place the bread in the microwave and nuke for 20 seconds. Continue cooking onions until softened. Remove bread from pan and top with the onions. Saute in same pan until browned and crisp-tender:

bell pepper slices

zucchini slices

mushroom slices

(soy pepperoni)

Top bread with:

Dried Tomato Paste or pureed red bell peppers

thinly sliced tomatoes sprinkled with sea salt and pepper

spiced onions

sliced olives

(soy pepperoni)

sauteed vegetables

more tomatoes sprinkled with sea salt and pepper

2nd piece of bread spread with Dried Tomato Paste or pureed red bell peppers

If using a pita spread

Dried Tomato Paste or pureed red bell peppers inside then stuff with the above ingredients.

Falafel Starch

When I make falafels I bake up an entire package and freeze what I won't be using within the next week.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add water according to directions on

 pre-packaged falafel mix

I like to add some of the following finely minced or shredded veggies /herbs to the falafel mix

cucumber

parsley

spinach

carrot,

celery

mushroom

bell pepper

cilantro

mint

Let mix rest at least 10 minutes. Form into thin patties. Place on oiled baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the outside of the patties are crisp and browned.

Warm

whole wheat pita with 2 falafel patties inside. Mix

torn or shredded lettuce with

soy mayo mixed with a little fresh lemon or lime juice, or soy milk

salt & pepper to taste

(cumin, coriander, mint, cilantro, fresh or dried garlic; or curry)

Fill the pita with the lettuce mixture.

Optional additions to lettuce mixture

cucumber

tomato

sprouts

Salsa Sandwiches

These salsas work best piled onto a whole wheat or corn tortilla. For variety you could spread the tortilla with canned non-fat refried beans, this insures that no animal lard was used in preparing the beans.

• Black Bean Corn Salsa
• Zesty Italian Tomato Salsa

• Sunset Salsa

• Nopalito Salsa

Grilled Cucumber with Tarragon Onions filling: Neutral

This is an absolutely glorious sandwich.

Heat a little olive oil and butter over medium-low heat until hot. Add:

2 slices whole wheat bread or 1 whole wheat pita cut in half across the diameter

1/4 cup thinly sliced onions

Sprinkle onions with

dried tarragon

sea salt

black pepper

Top bread slices with

2 slices nondairy cheese. Place cheese inside the pitas.

Cook until bread is browned. The cheese won't be melted, which is fine, but if you want it melted place the bread in the microwave and nuke for 20 seconds. Continue cooking onions until softened. Top bread in this order with

a smudge of Dijon mustard

a couple layers of thinly sliced cucumbers sprinkled with salt and pepper

tarragon onions

(thinly sliced dill pickles)

(soy pepperoni)

2 more layers of cucumbers

2nd piece of bread with a smudge of mustard

If using a pita spread mustard inside then stuff with the above ingredients.

If you haven't found the recipe you're looking for use this search engine to find the recipe you're looking for on the Internet. TIP: type the word "recipe" after your search criteria, i.e. "chicken recipe" instead of just "chicken". I love this search engine so much that I've almost abandoned my cookbooks. It's so much easier to just type in what I want and be given a page full of links to new recipes than to have to search through several cookbooks.
