Amazing TLT Vegan Sandwich
They won't even know (or care) that they are eating vegan with this amazing Tempeh, Lettuce, and Tomato Sandwich with all the bells and whistles.
Ingredients
- 1 onion - sliced
- 4 oz mushrooms - roughly chopped
- 2 garlic cloves - minced
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 8 oz tempeh - in 1/4 inch slices
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato - sliced
- 1 avocado - sliced
- 4 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 4 slices vegan cheese
- 8 slices whole grain bread
Instructions
-
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil to medium. Add onions and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute until the mushrooms soften - 2-3 more minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Remove from pan with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate.
-
Heat the oil in the pan to medium-high temp and add the slices of tempeh. Cook until they are a deep golden brown (3-4 minutes), then turn the slices and cook until the other sides are also a deep golden brown. Remove from pan and set to the side.
-
Toast 8 slices of bread. Spread 1/2 tbsp vegan mayonnaise on each slice. Top four slices of bread with the cheese slices. On top of cheese, add lettuce, tomato, 2 ounces of grilled tempeh, onion/mushroom mixture, and sliced avocado. Top with second slice of bread. Cut in half and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Toasting the bread is optional, but it helps keep the sandwich all together!
