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

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Slice the cremini mushrooms and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 5 minutes until mushrooms are browned.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

While the seitan mixture is cooking, slice the large tomato into thin slices.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with lemon juice to make a tangy spread.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, spread the lemon-mayo blend on one side of each toasted whole grain bread slice.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Complete the sandwiches with the remaining bread slices, spread-side down.

Step 10

Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
