Suggestions for sandwiches

[Trenny]

Can anyone suggest fillings for sandwiches, please. I do not like lettuce and am fed up with cheese!

Hi there,

Hopefully this will give you a few ideas? x

Hi Trenny, there's a variety of sandwich fillings that are gluten free, like eggs, cold meat, tinned tuna/salmon. Then if you like spreads there's humous (chick pea spread) and Tahini (sesame seed spread)

Many pate's are gf and Tartex ones are vegetarian and I really like mushroom pate and on toast it's really nice too.

I eat nut luncheon in sandwiches/rolls sometimes and I buy it from Holland and Barrett and that is clearly labelled gf.

As you don't like lettuce but if you like cabbage you could buy or make coleslaw.

And I hope this helps,

Jerry

My staple is peanut butter and either peach jam or marmalade on toasted Udi gluten free bread.

Or forget the sandwich entirely:

Tuna mayo can also be eaten without bread.

Kale "chips" (or crisps) - strip the leaf from the stalk into a large bowl. Toss with olive oil and sea salt. Tip out onto baking sheet and spread into a thin layer and bake 20 minutes at 350 deg f (sorry in don't recall the gas mark or Celsius setting). Great source of folate and not at all like lettuce.

Roast beef sprinkled with a little salt and fresh sliced tomatoes.

Corn tortillas and salsa.

Tacos without cheese.

I love left over cold roast beef or roast leg of lamb with tomato for my sandwiches, I think Udi's tiger bread the best. I also make salad sandwiches with lettuce and used rocket leaves instead for a bit of zing.

Fidgetsmum - if you like Udis Tiger Bread have you tried Tesco's GF tiger bread rolls? They are own brand and come in a pack of 4. I found them to be a great texture and a pleasant taste.

[Hidden in reply to Mabes]

We got some one day but cannot find them when we go shopping. our local Tesco is good but I think everyone who is GF here grabs up the rolls before we get there.

I am not a bread roll fan, hubby is. I prefer thinly sliced bread or toast for my sandwiches

My favourites both skip the butter/spread for something more interesting:

(1) Spread the bread with hummus then fill with avocado and grilled bacon

(2) Spread the bread with a light cream cheese (Philadelphia or a Dairylea triangle will do!) and a thin smear of Marmite, then fill with "dry" cucumber, by which I mean cut it lengthways to remove the centre so that your sandwich doesn't go soggy.

I thought Marmite was unsafe? Celiac.com says "yeast extract from brewer's yeast is considered unsafe for celiacs" - so it may be OK for those with an intolerance, but not for anyone with Celiacs.

[DartmoorGuerrilla in reply to Pink_Bear]

Good point but I've found that for some reason I can tolerate Marmite, even though I can't tolerate some foods that are only 4 or 5 parts per million and technically gluten free.

[Pink_Bear in reply to DartmoorGuerrilla]

Oh maybe I'll try it ! Although I always loved it I haven't eaten it for years.

[DartmoorGuerrilla]

And another one if you have leftover cold lamb from a Sunday roast. "Sheep dip". That's thinly sliced lamb with mint mayo. A 3:1 mix of Hellmans and drained mint sauce. Yummy!

I like prawn and Mayo or smoked salmon

Many thanks, all. Plenty of ideas to keep me going!

Late idea - egg mayonnaise with sliced avocado.
