Fried Zucchini Sandwich
May 23, 2009
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
* 1 zucchini
* flour
* unflavored vegan soymilk or other milk substitute
* vegan butter or oil
Directions:
Slice zucchini fairly thin. Dip slices in soy milk. Dip in flour. Fry until desired doneness.
I like it on white vegan bread with ketchup.
Kinda fattening, but a tasty way to use up all the zucchini
from the garden.
Anything Goes Yummy Sandwich
May 23, 2009
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
* eggplant
* celery
* corn
* onion
* garlic
* mushrooms
* salt, pepper, other seasonings to taste
* tomato/spaghetti sauce or stewed tomatoes, optional
* vegan bread (something dense, or it will fall apart), optional
* oil (just a little bit to saute)
* vinegar
Directions:
Chop up the celery, onion, and garlic pretty small. Saute
in the oil with salt, pepper, and any seasonings (except the
vinegar). Slice the eggplant into half-circles. Use
however much eggplant you like. Put the eggplant slices in
the frypan. Add a little bit of water (~2-3 Tbsp) and
cover. Let sit for as long as it takes you to slice the
mushrooms into small pieces. Add the mushroom and the corn
to the pan. Add a splash or two of vinegar and a little bit
more water, cover the pan, and let the whole thing cook for
a few minutes. When the eggplant is cooked, add the tomato
sauce and let it cook for awhile, until it’s pretty thick.
Put this on top of some good dense vegan bread and enjoy as an
open-faced sandwich. Or if you can find some good sub rolls
they would be good too. Just be sure to use good, dense
bread, or it will become mushy and goo-like (yuck). I like
to add a little bit of parmesan cheese to it but you don’t
have to. And feel free to use whatever veggies and
seasonings you like!
Serves: 1 - 2
Preparation time: 10 min
