Anybody have any good vegetarian sandwich recipes?

Avacado and alphafa sandwich with sliced cucumber.

@talljasperman Yum! I love those sandwiches! I remember the first time I had one of those. I was about 10 years old and our parents took us to this little hippie sandwich shop in Laguna Beach, California. This is the exact sandwich I got. At first I was a little mystified by the grassy looking sprouts, but after a couple of bites, I was hooked. It is one of my favorite food memories, thanks for reminding me : )

How about a wrap?

Cube medium eggplant ½ -¾” cubes.
Put in a non-stick skillet heated to medium-high with a little bit of oil (wok works well) until starting to brown.
Mix about 1 tsp of of soy sauce with equal water.
Turn skillet down to about medium and pour in soy/water. Stir and toss until water is gone and eggplant has softened.
Sprinkle eggplant liberally with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately on warm flour tortillas with lots of sour cream.

That’s it, but onions would be a great addition. Tomatoes, lettuce, whatever tickles your fancy.

Simple, rich and delicious.

I’d not thought of the raw onion slivers until now, or that would have been part of the recipe. I had no inspiration [recipe] for this other than an eggplant I needed to use.

Grilled eggplant and red pepper slices, fresh mozz, arugula, a little drizzle of olive oil and balsamic, a few leaves of fresh basil, and fresh-ground black pepper, open-face on french or sourdough.

Unfortunately @ibstubro and @wildpotato I just can’t stand eggplant : ( It’s one of the few things I do not like.

Look and weep!

I love grilled or roasted veggies on a flatbread sandwich. You can add cheese if you want. The veggies I like are zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, and orange pepper. I toast the flatbread and serve the whole thing warm.

More salad oriented I like a French or hoagie roll, with part of the center taken out and I put cucumber, black olives, lettuce, yellow peppers (the ones that are a little hot) and if you like you can add oil and vinegar or dressing. Salt and pepper to taste. I don’t need any dressing on it or salt or pepper, but people commonly add those. Most people like tomatoes in it too.

Eggplant parm is a good sandwich too. You can leave off the cheese if your vegan.

Another with cheese is spinach, mushrooms, onions, and cheese on flatbread or in a pita.

Lastly, any sort of pizza sandwich. Good bread, sauce, mozzarella, and any veggies you like on a pizza.

I don’t know how you’d even identify my filling as eggplant, if you didn’t already know, @Kardamom. The soy sauce makes it dark and with the Parmesan, very rich.

Fluther classic

^^ What a memory.

@Kardamom You can substitute zucchini or yellow squash for the eggplant in that sandwich.

Damn! There are some tasty sandwiches there, @ZEPHYRA!

You forgot the Artichoke hearts, @JLeslie preferably roasted particularly on that delicious sounding flatbread sandwich!
Your #2 sounds a lot like what I order at Subway. :)

Stick with the eggplant for mime, @wildpotato.
If @tinyfaery’s not invited, I might have a bit of onion.

@everybody I’ve tried eggplant in just about every incarnation and I just can’t stand the texture of it. Even if it’s hidden under other flavors, it’s not really the flavor, it’s the texture I can’t abide.

@ibstubro You actually go to Subway??? They’re probably the worst sandwich place in business. I prefer Capriotti’s and Jersey Mike’s (except they only have one vegetarian option) and I also like the sammiches made by most of our grocery chains, such as Vons and Albertson’s and Stater Brothers. Subway makes you pay extra for a paltry amount of avacado, even though you are forgoing the meat entirely. That doesn’t even make sense. Not fond of their bread either.

One of my favorites, if getting a sandwich at any random deli, is cheese thinly sliced and piled high, preferably a mixture of Swiss, cheddar, and Jack. Then a layer of sliced avocado, some thinly sliced tomatoes, onion, pickles, shredded iceberg lettuce, mustard, mayo, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar on whole wheat bread.

At home I like to make fake meatball sandwiches, with Trader Joe’s meatless meatballs, slathered with marinara sauce, loaded up with shredded mozzarella, on a French roll, and then heated under the broiler until it’s all hot and melty.

I also have a recipe that I shared with another Jelly, that I made up on the spot when I was chatting with her on Facebook. She needed a recipe for a contest, so I made one up for her, that was basically my own version of a Vietnamese banh mi sandwich. I was running back and forth to the kitchen, whipping up the ingredients and tasting them along the way, then I’d run back and tell her the next step. Unfortunately, she didn’t create and test and write down the recipe in time for the contest, which was a bummer, because I recall about $10,000 was on the line. I’m going to go back to FB and see if I can find our conversation and try to write it down. Of course, my new recipe will contain some sort of fake meat, probably seitan, instead of real beef.

The worst sandwich place in business, @Kardamom? So you would prefer my other options of Hardees, McDonalds, Arbies, Sonic? Or maybe you prefer KFC or Long John Silvers? Since Kroger’s closed 2 years ago, my area is not represented by a single national grocery. Quizno’s closed all locations. Oh, there’s a new Jimmy Johns, as long as you like bland bread and don’t want condiments.
I don’t like mashed avocado on my sandwiches and I love Subway Italian Herb and Cheese bread.
If I had a taste for meat, I’d eat it, not all the fake crap all the time. Every month or two Morningstar Farms will have something on sale or I’ll stop in Subway for a Garden Veggie burger (which, honestly, is not trying to masquerade as meat.). I’ve been a veg for around 20 years and I still get a chuckle out of what some people will eat and call a meatball. Like they weren’t bad enough when it was real ground cow and fillers. lol

@ibstubro I wouldn’t exactly refer to those other places as specifically sandwich shops, which Subway is, and yes, it’s terrible. I think I’d prefer to buy the ingredients I could from whatever grocery store I could and make my own sandwich, which is what I did today with my vegetarian banh mi. I also like sandwiches from liquor store delis which are usually really good.

I don’t even know what ‘liquor store deli’ refers to.
We have two local delis: One offers the ‘fixins’ of lettuce and tomato and the other refused to make my requested sandwich the last time ti was in there.
By your definition, my local choices are Subway, Jimmy John’s and Casey’s.

Subway makes a fresh sandwich at a great price in record time using ingredients that would probably require visiting a couple of shops, $10–20 in ingredients and and at least 1–2 hours of hunt/gather/prep time. Yeah, maybe all they have is fresh veggies and bread, but I don’t need all that fake meat and prepared food.
