[This is a first in a series of posts, entitled “Protein Power.” A lot of non-vegetarians wonder where we get our protein. This series will explore the many obvious and not-so, sources of protein, put together in ways that are delicious, dare I say, even delectable?]
Who doesn’t love a hearty sandwich?
Here’s a version, using leftover savory lentil loaf, that is quick and easy to put together.
I think lentil loaf holds together better and the flavors are heightened, after about a day in the fridge.
Assemble:
1 slice lentil loaf, 1 slice of whole-grain bread (I used gluten-free), 1 thick slice tomato.
Top with A-1 sauce (if you like a little zing to your sandwich).
Each sandwich contains 15 grams of protein, and depending on bread used (100 calories or less, per slice), each open faced sandwich is about 300 calories.
(Go here for nutrition info for lentil loaf.)
Add some cucumber wedges and a small piece of fresh fruit and you’ve got yourself a light, protein and fiber packed lunch, in about 400 calories!
