    Veggie Sandwich with Orange-Chipotle Mayo

    2
    By Betsy DiJulio on March 16, 2012 Dairy-Free Recipes, Sandwiches

    (4 Recipes in 1!!) There’s no better time to go green than on St. Patrick’s Day, but this veggie sandwich can be enjoyed whenever fresh asparagus and peas are in season. If you can’t get fresh peas in your area, then frozen ones will work just fine.

    St. Patrick's Day Vegan Veggie Sandwich with Orange-Chipotle Mayo - Four Recipes in One!

    My approach to this sandwich was inspired by Giada de Laurentiis. She uses puff pastry as the “bread” in her double-decker chicken-and-avocado sandwich. Since puff pastry is fairly rich and high in calories, I opted for just a single-stack. Two pieces of pastry per sandwich is plenty.

    St. Patrick's Day Veggie SandwichFor my dairy-free and meat-free green filling, I pair homemade Green Pea Hummus with grilled asparagus. A thin layer of Vegan Orange-Chipotle Mayonnaise adds a kick of heat and a jolt of citrus to complement the vegetables perfectly. Though this veggie sandwich can be eaten with your hands, I recommend tackling it with a knife and fork.

    Serves: 6 servings
    Ingredients
    Green Pea Hummus:
    • 12 ounces Silken firm tofu
    • 16 ounces fresh or frozen peas, thawed
    • Zest of one medium lemon
    • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
    • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
    • Coarse sea or kosher salt to taste
    • Freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 generous tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
    • ¼ cup olive oil
    Chipotle Orange Vegan Mayonnaise:
    • 1 generous tablespoon vegan mayonnaise
    • 2 generous tablespoons vegan sour cream
    • 1-2 teaspoons adobo sauce, to taste (from a can of chipotle chilies in adobo found on the international aisle of some grocery stores and in Hispanic markets)
    • Zest of one medium orange
    Puff Pastry “Bread” Slices:
    • 1 box of Pepperidge Farm puff pastry, thawed according to package directions
    Roasted Asparagus:
    • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
    • 1 bunch of, preferably, ultra thin asparagus, rinsed, drained and trimmed into approximately 5-inch pieces (thicker asparagus works, but is not quite as nice or easy to eat in a sandwich; you might slice it in half lengthwise before roasting)
    • Coarse sea or kosher salt to taste
    Instructions
    For the Green Pea Hummus:
    1. Combine first 7 ingredients in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade.
    2. Puree until almost smooth and then drizzle in olive oil until very smooth. Refrigerate covered until ready to use.
    For the Chipotle Orange Vegan Mayonnaise:
    1. In a small cup or bowl, whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Refrigerate covered until ready to use.
    For the Puff Pastry “Bread” Slices:
    1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
    2. Line one baking sheet with Silpat or parchment paper and have another baking sheet and Silpat or piece of parchment paper ready.
    3. Unfold both sheets of puff pastry and cut each lengthwise along the fold lines into three strips and then crosswise into three equal pieces. (Each sheet should make six approximately 3 x 5” rectangles.)
    4. Arrange the 12 rectangles of pastry on a baking sheet, not touching.
    5. Prick the tops of each one with a fork.
    6. Cover with the remaining Silpat or piece of parchment paper and top with second baking sheet. (This will prevent the puff pastry from “puffing.”)
    7. Place on rack in the lower third of your oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
    8. Remove to a rack and allow to cool almost to room temperature. Meanwhile prepare and roast asparagus.
    For the Roasted Asparagus:
    1. Pour olive oil into a roasting pan.
    2. Add asparagus, toss lightly to coat, and sprinkle with salt to taste.
    3. Place on a rack above puff pastry and roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring once, until tender, but beginning to wither and develop slight caramelization.
    4. Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
    To Assemble:
    1. Spread a nice layer of Vegan Green Pea Hummus on half of the puff pastry "bread" slices.
    2. Top each with ⅙th of the asparagus.
    3. Turn the remaining puff pastry slices upside down and spread with a thin layer of the Vegan Orange-Chipotle Mayonnaise. Then place them, mayo side down, on top of each sandwich.
    Notes
    Serving suggestion: Fresh raw pea shoots and plantain chips seasoned with chili, lime and salt (available at Hispanic markets)

      Hi Liv~ why don’t you head over to my vegan blog, TheBloomingPlatter.com, where NOTHING contains dairy, just like right here on the fabulous GDF site. You can search under category or ingredient. Or, if you want to tell me what kind of recipes you’re looking for–breakfast, lunch, dinner–whether you mean that the dish is made to be eaten cold or just tastes good “the next day” as cold leftovers, and if you want something you can hold in your hand or if eating out of a carton with a utensil is okay, I will definitely try to direct you. Cheers!

      Hello-I’m a very on-the-go person, and I was just told I’m lactose intolerant. Do you have any dairy/lactose free recipes that are easy to make and good cold?
