- Jessica,
-
- I have used some recipes in the "New Laurel's Kitchen" cookbook.
- One that I especially liked was Garbanzo Spread; it was absolutely
- fantastic. I will send it along tomorrow when I get back to my
- cookbooks. It's basically garbanzos, onions (sauteed - I used
- wine instead of oil :-), sesame seeds (sorry, I don't know if
- these are real fatty or not, but you can certainly leave them
- out), and spices, cooked and mashed and then cooled in the refrigerator.
- It made enough for two really big sandwiches and then I froze
- half the leftovers to use later and used half later in the week.
-
- I hate salad - blech. I like spinach salad, though, so I have
- been known to make some and use it in a pita with some tamari
- or something to moisten it. I make spinach salad with
- spinach, onions, mushrooms, and mandarin oranges and sometimes
- walnuts (although not usually). You can also add chopped
- apples to this for an interesting taste.
-
- How about a burrito sandwich? I use any kind of bread I have
- laying around (usually whole wheat or pita) and spread a layer
- of refried beans (I'm a vegetarian, so I look for lard-free or
- make my own), salsa, jalapeno peppers (optional, shredded red-leaf
- lettuce and tomatoes and black olives).
-
- Ratatouille sandwiches are wonderful! I usually make up a
- huge batch of ratatouille and break down into three separate
- batches and use 1/3 for side dish and sandwiches, 1/3 for
- spaghetti sauce (I add extra tomato sauce and spices), and
- 1/3 for a casserole whose name I can't remember right now
- (w/potatoes and mushrooms and then baked in the oven).
- I have a recipe for ratatouille if you want it. I cool
- it and serve in a pita.
-
- I hope these help. I'm in a similar boat; I am not vegan, but
- vegetarian watching the fat in my diet.
