I’m looking for a vegan sandwich protein recipe that is more of a whole food than the highly processed food that is often found in stores. So far, I’m going to try out lentil patties. I figure I can freeze a batch and stick them in the air fryer as needed. Any other ideas?
Oh, yeah, that’s a fine level of processing. I guess I’m mostly worried about getting a decent balance of nutrients and not having too much sodium. I can see tempeh or tofu sliced to be very thin. I’ve not been much for a lot of the seitan products out there, but maybe I can give it another try.
It’s super easy to make your own seitan, but if you just don’t like it that’s a different issue entirely. (I on the other hand love seitan but can’t stand tempeh.)
I’ve only had limited exposure to seitan. Usually it’s had a chewiness to it that I found unpleasant. I found tempeh to be more satisfying. Thinking back, it’s mostly been in the form of the “kielbasa” type sausages.
I can definitely see what you mean. That’s something I enjoy about it, but I get it might not be for everyone.
