Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, thinly sliced white onion
- 1 medium, thinly sliced green bell pepper
- 250 grams, sliced chestnut mushrooms
- 1 can (400g), drained and rinsed cooked chickpeas
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices vegan cheese slices
- 2 medium, cut in half lengthwise baguette
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced mushrooms to the skillet, and cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are browned.
Stir in the chickpeas, garlic powder, smoked paprika, soy sauce, vegan Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or, alternatively, preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
Place the bottom halves of the baguettes on a baking sheet or grill pan, and spoon the chickpea-mushroom mixture generously over them.
Top with vegan cheese slices and place the sandwich halves in the oven or grill pan to melt the cheese, about 5 minutes.
Once the cheese is melted, remove from the oven or grill, place the top halves of the baguettes on the sandwiches, and serve immediately.
