Meatball Sandwich

When attempting to create a vegan sandwich, I've found that there aren't many options to put on it. We've got your basic lettuce, tomatoes, and other assorted veggies, but unless you really dig those fake deli meats, you're stuck with just veggies or a PB&J. While I've heard some tofu sandwiches are quite yummy, here's another option: a meatball sandwich.

There are non-vegan versions of these sandwiches at places such as Togo's, Subway, or Quiznos, and they are composed of meatballs, marinara sauce, and cheese. So I say, why not veganize it? Replace the meatballs with your favorite meatballs for pasta, mine being Whole Food's Whole Kitchen Vegan Meatballs, the marinara sauce with your favorite vegan version, mine being Rao's Homemade Marinara, and either taking out the cheese or using a vegan replacement you feel comfortable with.

Once you've got your ingredients, warm the meatballs and the marinara sauce, and then slap them on a slightly toasted piece of Ciabatta bread. Delicious! Its quick, easy to make, and tastes extremely yummy. I recommend it for a weekend lunch or even a quick dinner, with some veggies on the side.
