This isn't just any sandwich; it’s a symphony of textures and tastes.

It's proof that a plant-based meal can be both incredibly easy to prepare and profoundly delicious. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy probiotic-rich foods like sauerkraut!
Ingredients
- 2 slices wholewheat bread (like Woolworths Tante Anna Wholewheat Bread)
- 1 vegan burger (bean and nut patty, such as Irene's Gourmet Bean & Nut Patties)
- 2 tablespoons Sauerkraut (like Irene's Gourmet Kraut)
- ¼ avocado, sliced
- Optional: A side of pickles
Equipment
- Toaster or pan for toasting bread (optional)
- Frying pan (if heating patty)
- Knife
- Cutting board
Instructions
- Prepare the patty: If desired, lightly pan-fry or warm your chosen vegan bean and nut patty according to package instructions until heated through and slightly crispy.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast the wholewheat bread slices to your preference.
- Assemble the base: Place one slice of toasted bread on your plate.
- Layer the patty: Place the warmed vegan patty on top of the bread.
- Add the kraut: Spoon the sauerkraut generously over the patty.
- Add the avocado: Arrange the sliced avocado on top of the sauerkraut.
- Complete the sandwich: Top with the second slice of toasted bread.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately, optionally with a side of pickles.
Variations & Adaptations
- Gluten-Free: Simply swap out the wholewheat bread for your favorite gluten-free bread slices.
- Add a Spread: Enhance the flavor with a dollop of vegan mustard, vegan mayonnaise, or a creamy hummus.
- Extra Veggies: Include fresh spinach, sliced tomato, or thinly sliced red onion for added crunch and nutrition.
- Spicy Kick: A drizzle of sriracha or a few dashes of hot sauce can add a delightful fiery note.
- Different Patties: Experiment with various vegan patties, like a mushroom patty or a lentil patty, to change the flavor profile.
Tips & Hacks
- Perfect Avocado: For perfectly ripe avocado, gently press the stem end; if it gives slightly, it's ready. If it’s too firm, leave it on the counter for a day or two.
- Crispy Patty: For an extra crispy patty, use a non-stick pan with a tiny bit of olive oil and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare the patties in advance, so assembling this delicious sandwich takes mere minutes.
