Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams seitan
- 200 grams cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 8 pieces toasted whole grain bread slices
- 8 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Slice the cremini mushrooms and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic, sauté for about 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned.
Coarsely chop the seitan and add it to the mushroom mixture in the skillet. Stir in the soy sauce, fresh thyme, and ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well combined and flavors meld. Remove from heat.
While the seitan mixture is cooking, slice the large tomato into thin slices.
In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with lemon juice to make a tangy spread.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread the lemon-mayo blend on one side of each toasted whole grain bread slice.
Place a lettuce leaf on four of the bread slices with the spread. Top with a portion of the seitan-mushroom mix, followed by tomato slices.
Complete the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
