Ingredients
Spices
- 1 tbsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
Main Ingredients
- 3 large hearts of palm
- 3 tbsp plain vegan mayo
- 1 tsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 1/2 tbsp capers, well drained
- 2 whole wheat hot dog buns
Instructions
- Prepare the spice mix: Combine the sweet paprika and Old Bay seasoning on a medium-sized side plate, mixing thoroughly to create an even coating blend.
- Coat hearts of palm: Roll each whole heart of palm on the spice mix until it's completely coated in the seasoning for a flavorful exterior.
- Slice the hearts of palm: Cut each coated heart of palm into 1/2 inch pieces, which should yield about 5 pieces per heart. Set these aside as the base for the filling.
- Make the vegan mayo mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegan mayo, sriracha, fresh lemon juice, chopped dill, and drained capers to create a creamy and tangy sauce.
- Combine and gently mix: Add the sliced hearts of palm into the mayo mixture and mix gently to ensure the pieces are well coated without breaking apart.
- Assemble the rolls: Fill each whole wheat hot dog bun with the prepared mixture just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Old Bay seasoning adds a classic seafood flavor; adjust the amount based on your spice preference.
- Hearts of palm mimic the texture of lobster meat, making it a perfect vegan substitute.
- Sriracha can be omitted or replaced with another hot sauce to adjust spiciness.
- Use whole wheat buns for added fiber and nutrition, or substitute with gluten-free buns if needed.
- Best served immediately to keep the buns fresh and crisp.
