Everyone craves a sandwich after the overindulgence of Christmas Day, but have you considered swapping that turkey sarnie for a Boxing Day snack with a twist? This sandwich, devised by the people behind plant-food brand Redefine Meat, is made from their Pulled Beef. It captures the flavour and texture of beef but is made entirely of plant-based ingredients, so meat-lovers, vegetarians and vegans can enjoy it in equal measure.
Ingredients:
- 30ml olive oil
- 200g Redefine Meat Pulled Beef, defrosted
- 200ml leftover gravy
- salt and pepper
- 4 ciabattas
- 120g garlic mayonnaise
- 20g rocket
- 4 slices vegan cheese
- 50g homemade mulled-wine cranberry chutney (or bought chutney)
- 20g crispy onions

- Heat a large frying pan to a high heat, and set the oven to a medium temperature. Add the oil to the pan and fry the Redefine Meat Pulled Beef for about 8 minutes, tossing regularly, until crispy ends form.
- Add the leftover gravy to the pan and coat the beef. Adjust seasoning as needed, with salt and pepper.
- Warm the ciabattas for 5 minutes in the oven. Once warmed, slice in half lengthwise, and spread garlic mayonnaise on the bottom halves. Follow with the rocket, then the cooked "meat" mix and the sliced vegan cheese. Pro Tip: after adding the cheese, try flashing under the grill until irresistibly oozy!
- Finish off with the cranberry chutney and the crispy onions, and then the top halves of the bread.
