Description

Perfect for a quick and satisfying sandwich, this recipe is simple, tasty, and ready in just 10 minutes.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
