Phillies Phare: (Vegan) Phucking Schmitters
Here in Souf' Philly, there is only one thing that people love more than their sports teams: their cheesesteaks. But, yeah, the vegan cheesesteak has been done. For today's game, I wanted to tackle a sandwich that is close to every Phil's Phan's heart: the SCHMITTER (not named after Mike Schmidt). Behold:
When you're taking in a game at Citizen's Bank Park, if you're not eating a hot dog, you're eating a Schmitter. If you're vegan, you're chowing down on some of MLB's best vegan- friendly ballpark food: hotdogs, cheesesteaks, chicken cheesesteaks, crab cakes, or some of those ballin' crab fries. To die for, yes, but... I wanted a Schmitter. The (Vegan) Schmitter Hell yeah! Ingredients: -Kaiser rolls -Vegan salami deli slices -Vegan cheese slices - One tomato, sliced - One small yellow onion - One container of seitan - 1 tablespoon soy sauce - 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 2 teaspoons Liquid Smoke "Cheese Whiz:" (I interpreted this from a friend's recipe for nacho cheese) - 1/4 cup nutritional yeast - 1/5 cup flour - 2 tablespoons cornstarch - 1 cup water - 2 tablespoons vegan butter - 1 teaspoon yellow mustard - 2 cloves garlic - A few shakes onion powder and garlic salt - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/4 teaspoon pepper "Special Sauce:" (I had two ideas for this: "Big Mac" or Russian.. I went more in the "Big Mac" direction) - 1/4 cup Vegannaise - 2 tablespoons French dressing - 2 tablespoons sweet relish -1 teaspoon sugar - 1 teaspoon minced onion - 1 teaspoon white vinegar - 1 teaspoon catsup - 1 teaspoon salt Method: (There are a lot of short steps to this. I just did each thing on it own, and made an "assembly line" of ingredients on the counter. You can multi-task or skip around, if you'd like.) - Start with your "Special Sauce." It's really easy! Just wisk everything in a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate! - Make the seitan marinade. Wisk together the soy sauce, EVOO, and Liquid Smoke in a wide, shallow bowl. Drain the seitan, rinse, and soak in the marinade. If you want to be authentic, chop it up! Cover, and place in the 'fridge. - "Cheese Whiz" time! Wisk the dry ingredients and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to bubble, turn to low heat, and wisk in the mustard and vegan butter. Once you have a smooth sauce (it will thicken), turn off the heat and set aside. - Fried onion time! Slice half of the onion, cut in half, and saute with 2 tablespoons canola oil over medium heat. Place cooked onions on a plate with a few paper towels- might as well save a few calories... - I really, really wanted to char the salami and seitan on the grill. But, it was raining. So, I fried them. Grab a small frying pan and coat with canola oil. Fry the salami over medium heat. I used three slices for each sandwich. It will cook fast, so don't step away! - Again, I was super bummed about not being able to char-grill my seitan. I did my next favorite thing, and cooked it in a wok. Basically, you just want to brown the seitan. As with the other steps, throw in a little canola oil and saute over medium heat. - At this point, you should put your buns in the oven to lightly toast. - Assembly! Take a look at that first photo, and follow the directions!:) From the bottom: bottom bun, vegan cheese slice, seitan "steak", fried onions, tomato slices, "cheese whiz," grilled salami, "special sauce," top bun. Grab your Schmitter, pop a koozie on your jawn, and toast to the P-H-I-L-L-I-E-S! BEAT SF! related searches : Phillies
