homemade vegan cheesesteak!

Here's a vegan cheesesteak sandwich I made!

A cross section:
bread
(veg.)mayo
homemade vegan cheese*
carmelized onion
grilled bell pepper
trader joes meatless beef strips
a little bbq sauce
bread

Ah, so good.  It would have been better on a roll, but the SOMA trader joes didn't have any. 


*I'm pretty down on gross fake cheeses, but a couple months ago I made a macaroni and cheese recipe from Vegansaurus and it turned out really well, so I did a similar thing here: earth balance melted in a pan, a little water, lots of nutritional yeast, tamari, tumeric, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt and then some corn starch whisked in to thicken it.  This would be a little weird on a cold sandwich, but for melty vegan cheese uses, it's way better than packaged soy/rice cheeses.

  2. woah that looks super good! you are putting the ingredients on the side of the bread that has less surface area though which is bizarre to me!

  3. haha, i guess you're right. usually i try to to make them match up (so i'll use the smaller face of the bigger piece and the larger face of the smaller one) but this time i seem to have used the smaller sides of both pieces of bread. i was pretty excited to eat this thing so maybe i wasn't thinking clearly.

    digging the new pulldown menus.

  4. astute comment! also, i really like the presentation/photo. it looks eerily similar to those old recipe book photos you post on deathwishthree.

    and yeah, wow, this blog is classing up!
