Leftover sandwich Spreads
This recipe is adapted for vegetarianism or you can change this to simply adding most anyvegetables instead of meat. Avocados, mushrooms, tomatoes, hummus are some of my favorites.
In the holidays we have a lot of leftovers Especially
Meals
Choose the better breads for your health
meat that can be cut up anyway you like; a potted ham or, in chunks.
• Chopped meat (baked chicken, turkey, beef, ham, Spam, hot dog, tuna, cold cuts, 6 eggs or even cooked organic tofu);
• Smaller chopped onion or green onions or fresh chives for color, + nutrients. Presentation is everything.
• ½ to1 stock small chopped celery
• Fresh, bit of parsley
• Salt and pepper to taste
Onion
.......
• 2 tbls + mayo (enough to hold it altogether)
• abt 1 tsp. mustard (optional, except for the egg salad)
One small dill Pickles finally chopped
Or, 1 tbls pickle relish or pickle (optional)
• Chopped Romaine Lettuce or Watercress
• Whole wheat bread, Low carb bread are available now,pita, High fiber,whole wheat wraps
The ratio of measurements to ingredients depends on how much food using and, many in your serving 4-6-8 etc.
This is about 4 servings per 2 cup meat. This is a great way to use leftovers and especially meat you don’t really care for dark, light, neck, tail end etc. ,
Have a handy small food chopper that can pulse the meat to desired constancy (don’t over pulse unless you want it for a fine spread for crackers i.e.) (meat +vegetables can be chopped put in baggies and do later I do this all the time)
First chop up the vegetables in a food chopper or a blender on pulse and a pickle if you don’t have relish.
I also make this same recipe up with 6 boiled eggs for egg salad using the same ingredients except for of course the meat
Instead of humus you can add chickpeas and mash them up they work out great.
I like fried potato sandwiches with a bit of onion Yum with Mail.
Post Notes: Adding in Blk beans to your wraps. Rinsed cooked black beans can be added to the whole wheat wrap, diced up a tadd salsa.
This adds more grams of fiber! After soaking beans an hour in hot water, salting the dry black beans cooked in onion-garlic and left over vegetable odds and ends of all my cooking boiling them in the soup mixture. After about an 2 hrs. read the direction on package for exact times, I then strain, rinse the beans discarding the odd ones
Vegetable broth made from the ends of all your vegetablesends well have a nice flavor to the best broth you’ve ever eaten if you’ll use them bake them in the oven until burnt or crisp reconstitute them in water and serve don’t waste and throw away.
I just want their nice flavors. You can use odd broths for flavoring in a pinch too. (whole idea here is to add fiber to our diet that's hard to do.(25-35 g daily) Once a month I package in small snack plastic bag 1/2 cup of black beans in the fridge or freezer and put them in everything including just for snacks. It works for me! 1/4 cup is 12 g of fiber that nearly 1/2 the fiber needed for the day. The rest of your fiber is in the vegetables and the wrap. Never eat meat without gobs of fiber, Protein in beans is about 1/4 cup is 11 grams...1/2 cup is 22 so who needs meat. RE: Read Daniel for the story of not eating meat but legumes. Not all the Jews a lame big mistake neither did John the Baptist.
