sandwiches

Choose your favourite type of bread – light- or heavy-textured wholewheat bread, rye, Granary (Graham) or whatever takes your fancy. Spread it with vegan margarine if you like (you may not need to if the filling is moist), then choose your filling from just some of the many vegan possibilities given below.

If you prefer a toasted sandwich, prepare your chosen filling (see below), spread vegan margarine on 2 pieces of bread, one side only. Spread the filling on the unbuttered side and sandwich the two slices together, enclosing the filling. Toast in a heated sandwich toaster for 4–5 minutes, until crisp and golden brown. Serve immediately.
