Sandwich Recipes

If you need a fork, it isn't a sandwich here. Everything in this category is a filling built inside bread that you can pick up and eat with your hands, whether that's a soft bun or a pita.

Vegetarian Sandwich is the fastest option, built for one and ready in about twenty minutes with whatever crisp vegetables and spreads you have on hand. BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich takes about forty-five minutes and leans into smoky, saucy comfort food instead. Falafel Sandwich asks for more planning, since the chickpeas soak raw overnight before they're ground and fried until the shell shatters, and Tofu Banh Mi runs close to two hours start to finish.

Bread is porous and draws in whatever moisture sits against it, so a saucy filling like the jackfruit in BBQ Jackfruit Pulled Pork Sandwich needs something between it and the bun or the bottom half turns to paste. The same idea runs in reverse in Falafel Sandwich: the shell that shatters out of the oil stays crisp only as long as it's dry, so the tahini and vegetables that make the sandwich whole are what starts softening it.

The badges on each card show vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free status, so check there instead of assuming from the title. Bread is where the gluten usually sits, so a gluten-free bun or pita is the simplest fix, though a denser gluten-free loaf falls apart faster under a wet filling, so build those open-faced or eat them quickly.
