Equipment

  • Grill pan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large tomato
  • 2 Packages Sweet Earth Hickory & Sage Seitan
  • 1 1/4 Cup mayo
  • 1 Handful fresh basil
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 4 Slices your favorite bread
  • 2-4 leaves of lettuce (or your favorite green)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place 12 pieces of seitan on a baking sheet (6 per sandwich) and cook in the oven on 375 for 10-15 min or until crispy
  • While the seitan is cooking, prep your mayo. Combine 1 cup of mayo, chopped basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Allow to chill in fridge until you are ready to build your sandwich
  • Slice tomato and prep lettuce, set aside
  • When the seitan is finished, remove from oven and start building your sandwich
  • I like this sandwich grilled using a grill pan, but if you don't have one, toasted bread works fine
  • Spread remaining mayo on the outside of your bread and place it face down on the grill pan on medium to low heat. The mayo gives you a nice caramelized, crispy outer crust.
  • Build your sandwich starting with spreading the lemon basil mayo from edge to edge.
  • Then add your lettuce, 6 pieces of seitan for each sandwich, and top with tomato.
  • Spread more lemon basil mayo on the top piece of bread, and spread mayo on the outside of the bread.
  • Grill until each side is browned up and has grill marks.
