There's more where this came from!

Ingredients

For the sandwiches:
8 bread slices
16 vegetal cheese (must melt but not too much)
4 tomato slices
4 vegan sausages
4 vegan ham slices
4 seitan slices (or tofu, or tempeh)
100 g of sliced mushrooms
Salt, pepper, garlic and soy sauce to season
For the sauce:
1 cup of tomato paste/sauce
2 dl of white beer
1 dl of wine
1/2 cup of soy milk
1 tablespoon of powder garlic
1 bay leaf or a small spoon of bay powder
1 cup of vegetable broth
1 teaspoon of mustard
1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of vegan Worcester sauce
Salt and smoked paprika to taste

Preparation

4 units

Method

Season the seitan slices with salt, pepper, garlic and soy sauce. Grill them and also the cut sausages and the mushrooms.
Display 4 bread slices in a tray.
On each bread slice display the seitan, the sausages, the ham, the mushrooms, the tomato slices and another slice of bread on the top.
Display the cheese slices in order to cover the bread on the top, and after melting a little they should cover all the sides.
Take the tray to the oven at 200º C just to warm up and melt the cheese.
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by adding all the ingredients in a food processer to mix everything. Take it to boil, taste it and rectify the seasoning if necessary.
Serve each “francesinha” with the hot sauce on it. Some French fries combine very well with it.
